Sounds like they started by telling apple 30 days ago, no patch, not even a response.

"Though Miller and Mulliner say they notified Apple ( AAPL - news - people ) about the vulnerability more than a month ago, the company hasn't released a patch, and it didn't respond to Forbes' repeated calls seeking comment."

Bet Apple respons now.

Thank god I bought a Blackberry on Monday.

Ouch, this one is gonna hurt apple's pride.

For the record, its $120 to replace the screen if you damage it... $120 for a tiny glass piece, I paid less for the wind shield on my Camaro (tinted, all that jazz).

yeah, i'm sure it's an "accidental flaw"..

wow.glad i dont own one!!!

Poor Apple, Inc. Now they'll have to make an even more expensive phone that people will be lined up around the block for.

Did i mention i love my Blackberry Bold.

Ya know, I've had my iPhone for over 2 years now and I love it. I guess my question is, is there anybody on here that has actually experienced this security breach? I guess I'd like to know if it is anything more than just hype.

No issues on my end..........yet

I'm just an ol' man so don't have a clue!!

I still crank my phone!

He, He!!

Who here has cranked a phone???
