> MacDailyNews Take: This is mainly an Android problem because Android is a stolen product that was initially supposed to be a BlackBerry knockoff which, after Steve Jobs revealed the iPhone, was hastily cobbled-together to mimic Apple’s revolutionary and patented Multi-Touch™ device. This hasty corner-cutting resulted in something that was and remains so poorly implemented that even the simple act of delivering software updates is in many cases never achieved leaving those who ignorantly settle for Android dreck vulnerable to myriad and unending security lapses and privacy intrusions.

Wow.

Well, tell MacDailyNews that for me, it's an Apple problem, because my wonderful, dependable, functional, reliable, incredibly useful, need-it-every-day Apple iPhone 5c likely won't get the iOS patch necessary to address this vulnerability, because it just went out of security update support.

I don't want a new phone. My phone works just fine, and shows every indication of continuing to work fine for years to come.

Except that it's now out of support, and I can't get a patch for this security issue.

So, no, MacDailyNews, this is not just an Android problem, at least not for me.

I think this is a problem that really won't rear its head much. . . but you are absolutely right. On the other hand, there are a lot of devices out there that are in the same boat of vulnerability and the real solution is to upgrade the firmware on the routers. Unfortunately, that's about as likely to happen as older Android phones getting a security upgrade.

Got any ideas?
