    Oooops.

    *No smarthpones have _more_ zero-days than Apple smartphones!*

    Simply stated: The iPhone has the most zero-day holes of all smartphones.

    What bug did they fix?

    https://support.apple.com/kb/HT213505 shows security fixes.

    <https://googleprojectzero.github.io/0days-in-the-wild/rca.html>

    As Ant kindly explained, this latest iOS bugfix release covers:
    CVE-2022-40303: Maddie Stone of Google Project Zero
    CVE-2022-40304: Ned Williamson and Nathan Wachholz of Google Project Zero

    Apple has _never_ found its zero-day bugs - Google finds most of them.
    The facts have shown Apple doesn't even _look_ for bugs they _know_ about!
    <https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2022/06/2022-0-day-in-wild-exploitationso-far.html>

    Apple marketing is brilliant!

    Why should Apple spend any money at all looking for zero-day bugs?
    Apple is content to merely (loudly) _advertise_ that they have security.

    *And yet, the iPhone has the _most_ zero-day bugs of all smartphones*

    Apple doesn't even _look_ for zero-day holes they _already_ know about!
    <https://threatpost.com/apple-patches-bugs-zero-days/161010/>

    Multiple times Apple has shipped the _same_ hole in subsequent releases!
    All this points to the obvious conclusion Apple only talks security.

    For this reason: *No smartphone is less secure than an Apple smartphone*

    Even worse, unless you're on iOS 16, Apple says you're not fully patched!
    *No modern smartphone has a _shorter_ security life cycle than iPhones*

    I'm well aware the iKooks won't believe in all (or any) of known facts.
    But let's see them show the 2022 zero-day figures for iOS next to Android.

    For smartphones, the iPhone has the _worst_ record of zero-day flaws!

    Try to prove that wrong, iKooks.
    HINT: You can't.

    It's not based on facts.

    You might want to read that back a couple of times.

    It's about the only thing the moron has *ever* gotten correct. :-p
