iOS, iPad and Security: A Problem That Never Ends

The fact that we feel safe when using our devices has become one of the requirements that we most demand when buying and using new terminals. The big firms know this but in many cases, they focus more on launching products with better features rather than guaranteeing our privacy.

In this case we are talking about the serious shortcomings of Apple's new operating system, iOS9, which will be installed in the new Ipad Pro that will go on sale in November.

The falls

Neither fingerprint recognition technology nor biometric markers, which are supposed to be unique to each person, have solved security problems. So that If someone is physically near your terminal, they can access it and use all the content they find.

A long list of mistakes

The brand founded by Jobs has always boasted of guaranteeing security to users, however, as we have seen, they are empty words. If the failure only came down to this last incident, the inconvenience would be less. Nevertheless, recently those of Cupertino have made other serious mistakes in terms of user protection. On the one hand, we highlight what happened last October, in which millions of keys saved in a tool called "Keychain" of the operating systems iOS 8.1 and OS were revealed. In addition to the passwords of the users of tools such as mailboxes and networks such as Facebook, sensitive material was also exposed in a vulnerable way saved on the affected terminals. There was no official statement from Apple reporting this event and subsequently, The firm acknowledged that it would take 6 months to solve the problem and not even with the updates of both operating systems released in February of this year, they solved the problem.

However, the award The biggest mistake made by the company in the field of protection took place last April, when a bug called "No iOS Zone" broke into a large number of the firm's devices and completely disabled them.

Where is the user?

After this list of failures (very frequent), the user has no choice but to use their device more cautiously and exercise extreme caution when downloading applications. In these cases, we see how the typical golden rule of not revealing personal codes, does not help much since the company on the block seems not to pay too much attention to such serious deficiencies.

IPad Pro: Colossal size and colossal bugs?

If one visits the page of Apple and see the new productYou will see that one of the words that the Cupertinos use to define it is "colossal." The fact that the new terminal has great features (and also a great price). However, if you are aware of all the mistakes made by the company in terms of security not throughout its history, but recently, the product can leave much to be desired despite being presented with such great fanfare that it would make you think that it is a god.

Sell ​​more or improve the existing?

If something characterizes this firm are its great launches, those parties in which everything is appearance and in which new products are received by attendees as authentic blessings. However, this prevents the firm from making self-criticism and focusing on fixing these deficiencies so serious that they can lead to large economic losses despite the fact that when launching new products, Apple always follow the same philosophy: Sell millions of units regardless of the experience that the customer may have. 

Given the circumstances, a question arises: Will Apple be able to solve these failures and offer a good product in every way? We will have to wait for time to show if the new Ipad Pro is a device that offers stability to the user in every way, or see if it is another new element in the long list of security failures of which Apple is doubtful. winner.

Not everything goes

The apple company has within it a very annoying worm that instead of leaving, it is more and more present. The firm should focus more on solving frequent errors that not only harm users, but also the image of the brand, before periodically saturating the market with product launches that fail to satisfy all consumer needs despite the fact that this You may have to pay a price that is sometimes excessive for the terminal you acquire.

You have at your disposal a lot more information about other security flaws that may impair the performance of your device.
