Do you feel they added too many new features in iOS 12?Wasn’t iOS 12 supposed to reflect Apple taking a lap, focusing on stability and performance over new features?![]()

Presumption being they knew who the hacker wereGoogle, nice to point out the flaws, how about expose the hackers while your at it.
Presumption being they knew who the hacker wereAre you familiar with what Project Zero does?
None of that makes any sense. Google's resources, like the resource of Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, etc. have no correlation to their ability to find hackers. Besides, I'm pretty sure the math says it makes more sense to mitigate the vulnerabilities instead of wasting resources chasing a person or group of people. Even with that being said, there are groups with resources dedicated to finding hackers. Both gov't and private.Simple answer yes. Suggesting the next step. I would speculate that a good majority of the hackers are rather easy to find, given the vast resources Google has. The very sophisticated well funded ones the challenge. Nice to deliver blows to low hanging fruit. Also points out the degree of ease the flaw has.

Project Zero's mission of finding zero day exploits is beneficial enough.
Wouldn't the victory be if there was no "hole" to begin with? This whole "hey, software is buggy right?' but we fixed it" seems like the whole Windows (but you need anti-virus really to use it) non-sense Microsoft found themselves in.Every hole in their OS's that Apple closes is a victory. It'd be better if these weren't being used as zero day's, but that is not the way real life in computer or smartphone OS's work (the bad guys are always finding some exploits to use / sell) - so good that Apple closed these as well. Keep it up Apple.
No such thing as a modern, robust OS with no holes. You’re talking about pie in the sky and an unrealistic standard.Wouldn't the victory be if there was no "hole" to begin with?

Well the OP was implying we should be thankfull Apple gets round to fixing things. Your mentality seems to be modern OSs are inherently broken and therefore we should be thankful for what we've got (BTW heard of any day-1 Linux flaws lately?)Ambiguous headline. Exploited prior to the patch. Whew.

and google has batched it and notified android manufacturer months ago before releasing the information.
if you phone hasnt batched, dont blame google, call to your android phone manufacturer, so there is no needs for google to ”drive attention” from exploit. google has fixed it.
Someone needs to reboot their sarcasm detector.It says "iPhone 5s AND LATER".
They work with law enforcement when it is warranted but the project is not designed to "expose" hackers. They focus their time on finding flaws and working with companies on patching them.Google, nice to point out the flaws, how about expose the hackers while your at it.
Lately? No. Ever? Of course.Well the OP was implying we should be thankfull Apple gets round to fixing things. Your mentality seems to be modern OSs are inherently broken and therefore we should be thankful for what we've got (BTW heard of any day-1 Linux flaws lately?)
I don't think Apple looks bad at all. Project Zero is just good at what they do. I'm glad they are. As long as the exploits are found and fixed, generally speaking, I don't think anyone cares who found them. Apple would only look bad if they got news of an exploit, let it hit the 90 day window without action, and PZ disclosed. 'Til that happens...
I don't agree. Project Zero is good at what they do because it's all they do - search for zero day exploits in all OSes. That's not implication against Apple's software team QA. There hasn't ever, isn't now, nor will there ever be perfect software.So if Project Zero is good at what they do would imply that Apple software team QA have a lot of issue if they themselves cannot identify these problems
FaceTime cal bug should have have been easily found before it was rolled out !!
Apple is really dropping the ball more and more
You're thinking of NSO who developed spyware used by the Saudis.I’m more interested in the vulnerability the saudis exploited where all they had to do was send a text to p0wn the iPhone of dissidents, a text you didn’t need to open, one without an attachment or bad link. I’ve heard very little about that other than the day it was revealed to have happened.

To say the FT bug should have been easily found suggests a naivete regarding software development. I agree Apple has deficiencies. So does every company. But to say Apple having a bug in it's software is an indicator of anything greater is kinda silly. There are far better examples of problems at Apple than software having a bug. Software is always going to have bugs.
I'm guessing you're speaking in general terms, because iPhone is above the rest is a phrase that I've never spoken in my life. It's also a sentiment I've never espoused. iOS vs Android is some fanboy nonsense I don't even acknowledge.Then stop with the iPhone is above the rest with security and privacy. Apple is just no better than others. Thinking otherwise just opens yourself up to complacency and false sense of security...which is sad to say applies proportionally far more iPhone users (than Android users)
Contrary to popular believe, iOS is obviously more bug ridden than Android due to its closed proprietary nature.
Even 14 years old kid can discover one major zero day bug is a telltale sign.
There's what someone strives for and what goes into products/services and then there are bugs and issues--apples and oranges, as they say.Then stop with the iPhone is above the rest with security and privacy. Apple is just no better than others. Thinking otherwise just opens yourself up to complacency and false sense of security...which is sad to say applies proportionally far more iPhone users (than Android users)
Doesn't really seem like it works as sarcasm either.Someone needs to reboot their sarcasm detector.
