Apple’s taking a pretty lackadaisical attitude toward one of the most easily avoided security flaws in recent memory, calling the iPhone’s passcode lock bypass a “minor iPhone security issue” and saying that a fix will be rolled out in September. Thanks, Apple; we suppose it’d be a little too much trouble to ask for a fix sooner, even though you already fixed it once in 1.1.4. For what it’s worth, a company spokeswoman is quick to point out that the flaw can easily be hidden by changing the home button double-click functionality to take you to the home screen, but most users don’t know that, at this time do they? Way to show some hustle, guys — cookies and gold stars all around.
