Apple is all about making the user *feel* safe, while not being safe.
Is again any more proof needed that Apple never tests even the simplest
things in the real world on some of the most expensive phones in the world?
Verbatim quotes:
o "Apple has a long history of lockscreen bypass bugs"
o "iOS 6.1 back allowed attackers to access phone records,
contacts, and photos freely"
o "iOS 7 also included a similar security hole"
o people "found a way to bypass the iOS 8.1 lockscreen"
and now... only hours after iOS 12.1 releases ...
o "We've tested this exploit and can confirm it works on iOS 12.1"
These bugs (and many others, e.g., Mac root bugs where a child could log on
as root) prove, beyond any doubt, Apple doesn't test even the simplest
things in the real world.
As always, Apple is all MARKETING and no actual security.
Apple MARKETING makes the user *feel* safe (without actually being safe).
In fact, Apple lets you, the user, do their real-world testing for them.

Of course you're not interested in facts about iOS security holes.

*You would rather ignorantly _feel_ safe, rather than actually be safe!*
As long as your Apple Mommy tells you to close the closet door when you go
to sleep, the big bad monsters, Mommy says, can't get you while you sleep.

Yet again, it happens!

Facts:
Apple has, yet again, *opened* privacy holes in iOS releases!
It's simply yet another indication that the privacy on both platforms is
"about the same", despite the Apple Propaganda which only left side of
mount stupid Dunning Kruger poster children actually believe.
<https://scanfoam.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/adpativeDKblog3.jpg>
The fact is that, yet again (for the umpteenth time), Apple has recently
shipped another untested diarrhea of iOS that opens up privacy wide open.
o facetime privacy bug
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/NFW7nz6FELw>
*How many times in just the past two years has this happened!*
o Apple users love to _feel_ safe from the sheer frequency of iOS releases
o But the proof of myriad privacy holes is utterly astounding
o Because, clearly, Apple doesn't sufficiently _test_ iOS releases
*Only the sheer _frequency_ of iOS matters to the consumer!*
o The consumer wants to _feel_ safe (not actually _be_ safe)
o So Apple gives them what they want, which is a diarrhea of iOS releases
It's _clear_ that Apple has _never_ sufficiently tested iOS releases
o Even the head of software engineering, Craig Federighi said so
<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/rVACwh2fE5Y/CReSXKtYEwAJ>
Here is a post from the Apple newsgroups just moments ago
showing, yet again, Apple doesn't sufficiently test for privacy bugs in the
diarrhea that is iOS release schedules:
Update1: Apple has taken Group FaceTime offline in an attempt to address
the issue in the interim).
Update2: There is a second part to this which can expose video too!
"9to5Mac has reproduced the FaceTime bug with an iPhone X
calling an iPhone XR, but it is believed to affect any pair of iOS
devices running iOS 12.1 or later."
<https://9to5mac.com/2019/01/28/facetime-bug-hear-audio/>
o Apple FaceTime bug lets you listen in on people you call,
o even if they haven't picked up their iPhone
<https://www.cnbc.com/2019/01/28/apple-facetime-bug-lets-you-listen-even-if-someone-doesnt-answer.html>
"A bug in FaceTime lets you listen in to the audio if you try to call
someone even if they don't pick up. You first video call someone
then try to add yourself to the group call."
o Major iPhone FaceTime bug lets you hear the audio of the person
o you are calling _before_ they pick up
<https://9to5mac.com/2019/01/28/facetime-bug-hear-audio/>
"The bug lets you call anyone with FaceTime, and immediately hear
the audio coming from their phone before the person on the other end
has accepted or rejected the incoming call."
o Here's how to do the iPhone FaceTime bug:
o Start a FaceTime Video call with an iPhone contact.
o Whilst the call is dialing, swipe up from the bottom of the screen
o and tap Add Person.
o Add your own phone number in the Add Person screen.
o You will then start a group FaceTime call including yourself
o and the audio of the person you originally called,
o even if they haven't accepted the call yet.
o It will look like in the UI like the other person
o has joined the group chat,
o but on their actual device
o it will still be ringing on the lockscreen.
<https://9to5mac.com/2019/01/28/facetime-bug-hear-audio/>
Without delving into Apologist Politics, it's just one more indication that
o Apple ships _untested_ releases where the sheer frequency is a "diarrhea"
o Privacy on all common consumer mobile platforms is "about the same"
It's understood that Apple Marketing Propaganda says otherwise,
but only Apple Apologists actually _believe_ in Apple make-believe.
*For actual facts on privacy, please see:*
o What is the factual truth about PRIVACY differences or similarities
between the Android & iOS mobile phone ecosystems?

*And, for actual facts on what I call "a diarrhea of iOS releases", please see:*
o Lockscreen exploit easilfy found only hours after iOS 12.1 released (yet
again, Apple never tests anything in the real world)
<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/N-hQKPDI4a0/4tfgLojLAAAJ>
*And, for facts about why Apologist Politics is what it is, please see:*
o Apple Apologist suffer from left-side dunning-kruger cognitive bias
