Sweet jeebus dude. Calm down. My comment has nothing to do with modifying Apple's design. Not even sure how that formed in your head. The design from Apple could be flawed, the chip could be flawed, a component part of the chip could contain a flaw. Just like these wifi chips are a component of Apple products and they contain... dunh-dunh-duuuunh... a flaw.
You're starting with the presumption that the design could not be flawed. Why? As I said, the flaw could be introduced in the design. Also flaws in manufacturing don't have to be intentional to introduce vulnerabilities. I'm pretty sure this wifi flaw wasn't intentional.
Now you're backpedaling. Your original post said...
Seems pretty clear to me what you meant. Please explain how a vulnerability could be introduced by the suppliers.
Bud, the only thing clear here is you didn't read my quote correctly and overreacted to your own misinterpretation. There's no backpedaling at all. Had you actually read my response to you, the answer you're looking for is right there. Right where I said: "...a component part of the chip could contain a flaw." Nothing I wrote implies modifying Apple's design.
oh snark! Seems like "Amazon (Echo, Kindle), Apple (iPhone, iPad, MacBook), Google (Nexus), Samsung (Galaxy), Raspberry (Pi 3), Xiaomi (RedMi), as well as some access points by Asus and Huawei, were vulnerable to KrØØk".
somebody forgot to tell Broadcom and Cypress and "Amazon (Echo, Kindle), Apple (iPhone, iPad, MacBook), Google (Nexus), Samsung (Galaxy), Raspberry (Pi 3), Xiaomi (RedMi), as well as some access points by Asus and Huawei, were vulnerable to KrØØk. This totaled to over a billion Wi-Fi-capable devices and access points," its terrible that Samsung and google didn't fix this!
You’re up to your usual tricks again. Goes like this:
Then it should be pretty easy for you to point out the contradiction in my quotes. Please do so.
They're still pretty safe. Traffic that should be kept safe is normally encrypted at the application layer, e.g. via SSL. Wifi security is an extra layer of defense. Good to have but not a huge deal if it's breached from time to time, and it is. Btw, if you connect via wired ethernet, which is about at the same layer as wifi, there's no encryption.
And refuse third parties to provide credible audit and hide security vulnerabilities even harder than ever.
They may not be able to modify Apple chip design without Apple knowing. But it is ridiculously easy to implant backdoor chip on every motherboard during manufacturing process, rendering the device much more vulnerable than customers might think.
One thing to check is do you have automatic dark mode theme switched on, when in dark mode, inverse colours gives you opposite effect. If you want to use inverse colors you have to be in Light Mode always.
They are secure. There is one _layer_ of security that was removed: Traffic between your device and your router was openly visible. HOWEVER most of the time that traffic is encrypted itself. So a hacker close to your phone could find that you were using https encrypted messages to talk to your bank, which they couldn't find out before. They still couldn't find what was _in_ these messages. And if you are using VPN, then they could find out that you were using messages that look like they are encrypted using VPN. They still couldn't hack into the VPN and recover your real messages.

Sorry but given Apple’s good track record of keeping everything behind the closed door, all I can assume is once the “secured device” is designed and manufactured by Apple, it will remain vulnerable for the rest of its life. Marketing always work like miracles after all.

Ah, the old Bloomberg “they hide backdoor chips in all the server motherboards” conspiracy that was completely disproven theory.And refuse third parties to provide credible audit and hide security vulnerabilities even harder than ever.

No no no.

I have about 8 accounts on mail including a corporate exchange email, which is mission critical as they say, and I have not had issues with mail delivery or response. Nor have other people I know. So it’s a YMMV situation.
Don’t need to. Our resident processor designer took your original comment the same as I did - that you’re claiming a supplier could introduce a flaw in an Apple design.
