And bugs like these make it quite clear that such slogans are just marketing gimmicks, Apple's no different than Androids.
Also you sheeps need to stop over exaggerating the issues with Android, and stop under playing iOS issues. Don't you think what you said for Android was a bit too much?

nik.007, 04 Feb 2019Whataboutery much, ehh?? 😏I'm just saying when no privacy is the norm (Android on ~80% of mobiles in use), even with a failure like this, the slogan still generally applies.

I think we should go for Android right now, iPhone now is very expensive and its battery never get better. Every update its iOS it's battery draining a lot, time to move on to Android. Bye-bye..

"The statement also gives special thanks to the Thompson family for reporting the bug."
- the funny thing is they actually ignored it, they did not even reply to them until others started to try it out, and it was all over the internet.

Virtually no critical / enterprise systems run apple software in the end points or on ghe servers / middleware level. I know as I work in a 140000+ employee global company now (European based), and a 40K employee US based company previously.

Unacceptable in steve job era.
This nonsense can only occur under tim's management. Too much profit driven. I blame those stakeholders who grown fat doing nothing. Management forcing developers on the impossible and junk features.
Apple.. just focus on quality and reliability!! Once those are enforced again.. profit and trust will come naturally.

But of course, the brilliant US of A resorted to calling Snowden a Russian hack (like everything else now lol) and buried the issue indefinitely.

Security flaw = bug.
Bugs/hardware defects = feature (you are just doing something wrong)
Typical Apple.
Well at least they beat Samsung on foldable tablets so they still have something to boast about being first in iinovation.

Apple dies, and probably the only country will suffer (slightly) will be the US. The rest of the world will move and shift to other BETTER brands on especially since Apple is weak many countries particularly Asia.

This is sloppy coding, not "something everybody does". Lazy developers do it, Apple has a history of not doing quality control on their code, ever since the 90's when they almost went bankrupt because even the most hardcore Apple fans got fed up with the bugs.
