xtapa,

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

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.

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”

You know. That was a lot of nothing. My buddies BB did it. Worse. He dropped totally cupping his phone.

But how Steve handled it was amazing. I was happy with my new phone. And free bumper. And not a dropped call.

I think the scuffgate on the 5 was waaaaaayyy worse. Literally every phone they were cracking open had dings. Like bad ones. That kicked up a lot less dust than I felt it should

Psythik,

It was not a “lot of nothing”. You’d literally lose service completely if you held the phone the way everyone holds a small phone. Your palm would bridge the two connections on the exterior antenna and there goes your signal.

Instead of properly addressing the issue, Jobs instead blamed the customers for being normal people.

tdawg,

I had a 4 in HS (and so did a couple of my friends) so maybe my baby kid hands didn’t have an issue with this but I don’t recall people having this concern?

Psythik,

Might have to do with the fact that most people put a case on their phones, but I can assure you that it was a legit issue for the few who don’t. I remember it happening to my best friend’s phone.

Bipta,

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

RoToRa,

“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.

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.

redcalcium,

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.

sebinspace,

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

HaggierRapscallier,

We love to see sanity online folks.

tdawg,

Clearly you aren’t a programmer. I still have emacs users tell me how great it is that they have their garage door opener keybound to SUPER+CTRL+K+SPACE

OutlierBlue,

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

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I had to try.

OutlierBlue,

True enough. We can only do what we can.

What about iOS 17 Public Beta?

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

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

BaronVonBort,

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,
@hellfire103@sopuli.xyz avatar

I forgot about Lockdown Mode! Good idea!

sebinspace,

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

Absolutemehperson,

So the hacker hacks your phone with his mind?

TheHobbyist,

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.

p_q,

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.
