Apple is still fighting its war to fix security problems related to its iPhones. Some security news and reports indicate that Apple has fixed a security problem that allows the iPhone to be hacked via Bluetooth technology using the Flipper Zero device. But what is controversial here is why Apple did not tell us about this officially! Follow this article with us, and we will share with you all the information about this hack, and how Apple was able to eliminate this problem.
What security issue did Apple fix?
There were some reports indicating that Apple had fixed a security vulnerability that allowed the iPhone to be hacked wirelessly via Bluetooth. This is done using devices called “Flipper Zero”. Despite this, Apple did not officially announce this vulnerability, but some security reports confirmed that this security fix is one of the reasons for issuing the iOS 17.2 update in order for Apple to eliminate this problem.
Add to your information, that Flipper Zero devices are small devices that are used to test the security of devices or networks. But sometimes, they are used to hack devices and disrupt systems.
What did Apple do to eliminate Flipper Zero's attempts?
Initially, the hackers installed a program called “Flipper Xtreme” on the hacked device to bypass its limits. After that, the program sends very large numbers of alerts, and windows appear sequentially on the “victim” iPhone until it is locked or completely disabled. Here came Apple's turn to intervene, as it disabled the Bluetooth technology itself. This was an ideal solution until it issued a new update that properly addressed this vulnerability.
Now, after the release of the new iOS 17.2 update, the matter has become more stable than before. Flipper Zero devices are now only able to send a small number of pop-ups. These windows are now unable to disable or control the iPhone. It is worth noting that Apple has not yet officially announced what happened or the fix for this vulnerability, even in the changes file in the iOS 17.2 update.

Latest update: My mobile phone is broken. I have an iPhone 15 Pro. I was on a call and when it ended, the screen remained black. I tried to restore it via iTunes and it gives me error 2009
Then error 5
I searched for a solution but to no avail.
Hi Issa 😊, it seems you are facing a bit of a difficult problem. Error 2009 and Error 5 are mostly related to a hardware issue, there could be a problem with the USB cable, USB port, or even the computer itself. Try another USB cable, try another USB port, and if the problem persists, try another computer if available. If these steps don't resolve the issue, it may be a good idea to contact Apple Technical Support or visit one of your Apple Stores. 📱🛠️

How do I know that there is a problem with the security of Apple Pay since I activated the three-click option to activate Assistive Touch, such as the floating buttons? And any update that Apple announces has a problem. I find that Assistive Touch works. I delete Apple Pay until Apple issues the update. It happened to me twice and now it has stopped.
Welcome Arkan 🙋♂️, To ensure the safety of Apple Pay, make sure your device is running the latest version of iOS and that Apple Pay is supported in your country. If problems persist, it may be a good idea to contact Apple Customer Service for technical support. For the issue of updates and three taps, restarting the device or resetting settings may help. Stay safe and contact us for any further inquiries! 😊📱
Thank you so much
If the vulnerability was in the Android system, we would have waited months for the update to arrive!!
Welcome, Lion of Sohar 🦁, just like I said, Apple always stays ahead of the curve when it comes to security updates. This makes its products more reliable and safe 🍏💪.
I hope that Brother Tariq Mansour or the blog manager will read my comment and solve this problem or contact the support team
May God’s peace, mercy, and blessings be upon you. There is a problem that I hope you can give me the reason for. Today I read the article about the Apple Watch and no gold coin was added to my account. What is the reason?
Hello Sultan Muhammad 🙋♂️, gold coins are usually added automatically after reading articles. But it seems that this golden apple decided to hide itself! 😄 There may be a temporary error in the system. Try logging out and back into your account, and if the issue persists, contact our support team to resolve the issue. Thank you for contacting us 🙏🍏
God bless you, battery owners ☺️ Don’t talk 😝 As usual, half of the apple’s battery will be spent on you. Do not send an update unless it fixes something very important. Every penny paid for an apple is worth it.
God bless you, wonderful effort
There is a problem with the device’s notification sounds after the update. The notification sound is always higher than the permissible limit, as is the screen lock sound.
