So much for Apple “iAnything” being invincable. Must be a sad day for you to realize you’ve been fooled by the hucksters @ Apple all of these years.

That is not why Apple users buy Apple products

Nice try

This is not Apple’s fault.The problem is with the ARM processors, and this affects the Android devices also, as these use ARM, too.

This is a processor level issue turning off predictive instruction execution. It is not specific to any OS platform.

Most major processors are susceptible to this extremely creative exploit. It’s not an Apple thing, it’s a state-of-the-art vulnerability.

We’ve never said that iPhones were not invulnerable to Spectre. That’s you and the other Anti-Apple Hate mongers putting words in our mouths we never said, as usual.

The idiot did the test, both before and after, if he truly did it at all, with a DEPLETED BATTERY, dumkopf! He posted this on several other sites and has been shot down, debunked, on every single site.

Read the user comments on your linked site where multiple users could not replicate his results and you’d find he was roundly criticized both there, same thing when put his claims on Anandrech and BGR, and on Reddit where he’d originally posted the same bogus claims six days before. Others who did similar tests using replaced batteries have not been able to replicate his results.

In fact, Blue, NO ONE CAN REPLICATE HIS CLAIMED RESULTS EVEN WITH A DEPLETED BATTERY. This is a FUD campaign by one person which is being shot down every time he posts it, and you, like all anti-Apple hate mongers who will believe anything nagative you find about Apple, reposted it.
