The Unfixable iPhone Flaw
from Phonegram News
If you are still holding onto an iPhone 11, Apple has some bad news they can never fix. Security experts just found an "eternal" hardware flaw called usbliter8. It is etched directly into the silicon of older chips like the A12 and A13. This means Apple cannot patch it with a software update. Not now, not ever. It threatens millions of active devices, including the iPhone Eleven, the XS, and even older iPads. But do not panic just yet. A hacker needs physical access to your phone and a USB cable to break in. So as long as your device is in your pocket, you are safe. But if you lose it? That is a different story. Is it finally time to upgrade, or are you keeping your trusty old iPhone?
