ALL YOUR IPHONES ARE BELONG TO US!
wow, i didnt know apple made mistakes. my whole perception of reality is now thrown into question...
Yeah I know. If this was Microsoft we would never hear the end of how poorly designed and insecure their products are. Are Windows Mobile phones even at risk?
Please say your kidding. Just the notion that you think this way of apple (that they can do no wrong) is what's wrong with this world today. BLIND ACCEPTANCE BECAUSE OF THE NAME. If you do, then your a idiot. If your kidding.. good one.
but i'm sure apple and the freakin' iphone are still soooooo perfect and can do no wrong.
Ummmmmm how is this news? I don't know of ANY ... ANY smartphone that does a proper wipe of data. Why are people talking like APPLE did wrong? I want someone to give me an example of a smartphone that does a proper NSA 3 pass wipe to ensure data cannot be recovered. NAME ONE. If they don't (and none of the phones do), then it is certain your data can be recovered. Blaming this on Apple only shows your ignorance.
Well, apparently it's news every time Windows has a zero-day attack even though every OS and software has it's holes and problems.
I'm not a MS fanboy by any means, but the bias that's always in Apple's favor really annoys me.
i think the point here is, this dude bought it directly from apple. apple didn't erase the data correctly. soooooo yes, apple did wrong.

This is what happens when you have to hack your phone to get it to do things that so many other phones already do. If people weren't looking for ways to provide functionality for the phones, and were satisfied with it, there wouldn't be half as many people chopping it apart to get at what they want...
Is the iPhone the most hacked phone ever?
Do you really thing the idiot whyphone users care about this. But hey, the phone is "cool" to "play" with.
People are jumping all over this because if this had been a Microsoft product, Apple fanboys would jump all over it and claim Microsoft as producing crappy products. But when Apple makes a mistakes, the Apple fanboys are all "well Microsoft does this all the time" and "well why is it a big deal if Apple makes a mistake?".
i hear if you make a mashing jumble swirling motion on the touchscreen that activates secure delete.
;)
Where's that "Will it Blend" video for this.... I see lots of relevance.
