Apple will be able to update iPhones while they’re still in the box, report claims::No more updating right after you unpack your iPhone.
This makes me think that malware will be able to be in an iPhone even before it is taken out of the box. I wonder if this will become an issue in the future. I suppose time, good research, and effective journalism will let us know.
Neither IOS nor Android have a meaningful malware concern. Both are very locked down sandboxed systems of which the easiest to infect, Android requires the user to deliberately disable safety features in order to install.
As incompetent as Apple is when it comes to the quality of their devices I can’t imagine how they’d fuck it up enough to enable any random dumbass to upload malware directly to the devices wirelessly. This kinda stuff has sorta been figured out for more than a decade
Are you aware of Pegasus? 0 interaction required. The hackers just need your phone number and for your phone to receive a text. They can then go and remove the payload text since they have full access to your phone leaving you with zero trace of being infected.
This is obviously not a worry for the average person but to say iOS and Android do not have a meaningful malware concern is just false.
