    I mean probably the singular best model to date. When the retina screen dropped… wow. I miss Steve 🫶

      Good phone aside from “you’re holding it wrong”

  “If you have one”? What’s the point of that insert?

    To stop all the assholes coming in and haughtily talk about how they have an Android phone.

      If you have an Android phone, you’ll need to update it asap too because Google just released a security update for a zero-day vulnerability.

      I misread the title and thought it said “You Need to Update Your Phone [if you have one], Right now”, which I found quite strange, then started reading the post and was like “Hey, but I have an Android, do you assume everyone has an iPhone now?”… So here I am anyway.

      I thought people stopped debating religion online, it seems very 2013

      You’ve been around long enough to know that won’t stop them. I recognize your user name from Reddit.

  So the hacker hacks your phone with his mind?

  • TheHobbyist@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    At a very high level: the attacker sends a picture which somehow is opened by Apple Wallet and leads to the execution of arbitrary code (this is the vulnerability, in how the wallet parses the picture, allowing for a buffer overflow), deactivation of certain security features and download/execution of the malicious payload.

      sure apple wallet is requierd for it to work? red it like the image part can come remotely by picture 0click (by link preview archived) or via using the wallet app, not both in conjunction.

  What about iOS 17 Public Beta?

  source

  • sebinspace@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Anything published before today, while this was a zero-day, should be considered vulnerable.

    Seeing as it’s not iOS 16, should be fine. But I’m sure they’d put a patch out for the beta if the risk was that high for it as well.

    I’ve put my phone in lockdown mode until a new beta comes out. Not much functionality lost

    • hellfire103@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I forgot about Lockdown Mode! Good idea!

  • FlyingSquid@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    No idea. I wouldn’t trust it right now though.

• Bipta@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  There's no update for older iPhones or Macs yet.

• xtapa@feddit.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Phew, I just started looking for my iPhone I don’t have. Brackets saved my sanity.

  source

  • FlyingSquid@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Thanks for proving exactly why I put them there in the first place. So people wouldn’t come in here gloating about how they didn’t have one.
