Amaya Toman Apple products suffer from an unfixable security flaw that can steal user data
The Californian giant has always been known for caring about the privacy and security of its customers. This is confirmed by several steps and gadgets that we have been able to see in recent years. But nothing is flawless and once in a while a mistake is found - sometimes smaller, sometimes larger. If you are interested in the happenings around the apple company, then you certainly know about hardware a bug known as checkm8 that allowed jailbreaking for all iPhone X and older models. In this regard, the highlighted word hardware is important.

If a security error is discovered, Apple usually does not delay and immediately includes its correction in the next update. But when the error is hardware, unfortunately it cannot be fixed and users are thus potentially exposed to the given danger. According to the latest information, hackers from the Pangu team have discovered a new (again hardware) bug that attacks the Secure Enclave security chip. It provides data encryption on Apple devices, stores information about Apple Pay, Touch ID or Face ID and works on the basis of unique private keys, which are not stored anywhere.
In addition, already in 2017, a similar bug attacking the aforementioned chip was discovered. But back then, hackers failed to crack the private keys, which kept user data virtually safe. But at present it could be worse. So far, it is not entirely clear how the bug works, or how it could be exploited. There is still a chance that in this case the keys could be cracked, giving hackers direct access to all the data.

Pavel Jelic For now, we only know that the bug affects products with chipsets from Apple A7 to A11 Bionic. The Californian giant is probably aware of the error, because it is no longer found on the iPhone XS or later. Fortunately, Apple operating systems are solidly secured in other ways, so we don't have to worry about anything. As soon as we know more information about the error, we will inform you again about it.
Apple deleted nearly 30 apps from the Chinese App Store
People in the People's Republic of China are struggling with a variety of problems. In addition, according to the latest news from Reuters, Apple was forced to delete almost thirty thousand applications from the local App Store over the weekend because they lacked an official license from the Chinese authorities. Allegedly, up to ninety percent of cases should be games, and the removal of two and a half thousand applications took place already during the first week of July.
The whole case has been going on since October. At that time, Apple told developers that either they would supply the appropriate licenses for their applications, or they would be removed on June 30. Subsequently, on July 8, the Californian giant sent out e-mails that informed about the following procedure.
Apple faces patent infringement lawsuit over Siri
A Chinese company specializing in artificial intelligence has accused Apple of infringing their patent. The patent deals with virtual assistance, which is similar to the voice assistant Siri. The magazine was the first to report on this information Wall Street Journal. Shanghai Zhizhen Network Technology Co. is demanding compensation from Apple in the amount of ten million Chinese yuan, i.e. roughly 32 billion crowns, for damages caused by the misuse of this patent.
In addition, part of the lawsuit is a rather absurd demand. The Chinese company wants Apple to stop producing, using, selling and importing all products that abuse the mentioned patent in China. The whole matter dates back to March 2013, when the first lawsuits regarding the misuse of a patent related to Siri technology began. How the situation will develop is still unclear.

The Chinese somehow got away with the accusations of patent infringement. Yesterday I read about Intel, now Apple. I would just shit on them. Don't make there, don't sell there. FUCK IT. If a few big players simply ignored a billion and a half people, by the way, there are probably not that many, because those numbers can't be verified in any way anyway, so maybe they would think about it.
Wouldn't it be better to write which models are affected for everyone's orientation, rather than writing the chip names?
By the way, it's not about Chipsets, the link to the original article would also be helpful, because this information about the Chip version is almost useless.
CPU A7 = iPhone 5s (28nm)
when
CPU A11 Bionic = iPhone X (10nm)
I guess so...
