iOS 16 still hasn't patched the 2-year-old security hole

The VPN security hole that is more than 2 years old on iOS devices is still ignored by Apple.

Since 2020, Proton VPN has disclosed a security vulnerability on iOS devices that could leak data or expose users' IP addresses to users who have used a virtual private network (Virtual Private Network, also known as a virtual private network). called VPN).

Usually when using a VPN, existing Internet connections are dropped, then re-established through an encrypted VPN connection. But iOS does not disconnect pre-existing connections.

At the same time, Mullvad VPN also issued a similar warning. At that time, the vulnerability appeared on iOS version 13.3.

Two months ago, security researcher Michael Horowitz said this vulnerability still exists on iOS version 15.6.

Now, experts say the VPN security hole remains on iOS 16, the latest version of Apple 's mobile operating system .

Specifically, security firm Mysk demonstrated that iOS 16 communicates with Apple software services outside of an active VPN connection on the device.

"Apple services that don't go through VPN connection include Health, Maps, Wallet. Worse, iOS 16 leaks DNS requests," Mysk wrote on Twitter.

Unencrypted leaked data can expose real IP addresses and other sensitive information. VPN users are often people with special privacy needs such as journalists, dissidents, and political activists. This group is at risk if their Internet access information is leaked.

Worse, this data leak continues even when Lockdown Mode is turned on, which Apple advertises as increasing device security for sensitive groups of users.

Proton VPN suggests a temporary "patch" for iOS users. The user connects to the VPN, then turns on airplane mode to disconnect all Internet connections, and then turns off airplane mode. This way, all re-established Internet connections will likely go through the VPN connection.

However, this method is not guaranteed to work, Proton VPN notes. 

iOS 16 is still buggy

After 4 months, the Indonesian typing error of iOS 16 is still not fixed by Apple. The problem seriously affects the customer experience. 

From the first test of iOS 16, the Indonesian  keyboard error appeared on the iPhone. After many months, this issue has not been fixed by Apple, affecting the customer experience with editing tasks.

Specifically, when typing the first word of the text is a Indonesian word (with the characters Â, Â, E, D, U, O, O or accented), the text will be jumped to the character sequence just filled in. For example, when the user types the word "hit", on the iPhone will display as "ddasnh".

Meanwhile, text editing and messaging is a frequently used task on mobile phones. Therefore, the error when typing Indonesian keyboard exists for a long time, disrupting the experience, greatly affecting the user's activities. 

Sharing with Zing , Mr. Minh Khoi, an iPhone 13 Pro user who upgraded to the new iOS early, said he felt very uncomfortable with this software problem. "Now I have to live with the flood, I don't know what to do," Mr. Khoi said helplessly.

Worth mentioning, this problem appeared on the first beta iOS update, launched on June 7. To date, it has been more than 4 months, Apple still has not resolved the issue. Currently, iOS 16 has the 6th beta and the 4th stable release. However, many users in Indonesian still have to use faulty keyboards.

According to Mr. Minh Khoi, the situation has improved compared to a few months ago. “Before that, many apps couldn't type. Currently, in the apps I use often, only Telegram still encounters frequent errors", a user in Hanoi shared.

To respond temporarily, users must type an additional character, space before the content. Using a 3rd party keyboard is another way, which can be used to solve this error. However, the typing experience on the iPhone's default tool still brings a familiar experience and supports more features.

Before the iPhone, Indonesian percussion also encountered annoying errors many times on Mac computers after upgrading the operating system. The default Indonesian typing software on iPhone and MacOS is not entirely developed by Apple. Mr. Pham Kim Long, the author of Unikey percussion, donated this tool to Apple in 2006. To date, Mr. Long's name is still on the legal and copyright information of Apple operating systems.

This is not the first time Apple has ignored software bugs, leaving users to solve them themselves. In 2020, many iPhones after upgrading to iOS 14 overheat, drain the battery even when not running any tasks. It was later found that the operating system was incompatible with the old,  SIM embryo. To solve it, users had to go to the carrier to change to a U-SIM. Meanwhile, Apple did not have one. software support actions.

However, many users are annoyed when private photos constantly appear on widgets, pop-ups everywhere on the homepage.
