Apple patched those months ago, starting from last November. Intel’s problem to begin with. Before it became public.

Still, off topic.

Not very interesting to talk about that stuff. It happens, and will continue to happen.

Let me repeat what started this:

APPLE HAS NEVER CREATED A BACKDOOR TO ANY OF ITS HARDWARE/SOFTWARE. EVER.

Finally, I trust Apple way more than anyone else in the business, when it comes to PRIVACY AND SECURITY. IT HAS NEVER LET ME DOWN, EVEN WHEN MY IPHONE WAS STOLEN IN PARIS TWO YEARS AGO. THEY GAVE UP AND RESET IT BY TRYING TOO MANY TIMES TO GET IN, OR BY TURNING IT ON, AUTOMATICALLY AS I HAD SET IT TO DO SO FROM MY IPAD SHORTLY AFTER IT WAS STOLEN, AND I GOT AN ICLOUD EMAIL THAT IT WAS BEING ERASED.

EVEN THEN, IT WAS USELESS TO THEM, BECAUSE AT RESTART IT ASKS, AND ALWAYS WILL FOR MY ICLOUD PASSWORD, AND WITHOUT IT, IT WON’t START. IT IS TIED TO ME AND CONTROLLED BY ME FOREVER.

BUT THEY CAN PUT IT BETWEEN TWO SLICES OF BREAD, WITH SOME MUSTARD, AND HAVE IT FOR LUNCH, IF THEY HAVE GOOD TEETH.

THIS SUBJECT IS NOW CLOSED.

Re: “They exploited a bug, somehow, on old software and hadrware, an IPhone 6. Not an iphone 6s, or 7 , nor X.”

Do yourself a favor and edumacate yourself about the Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities. They've been around for a VERY long time and still exist today on virtually all computers - because processors across the board have to be replaced, and the manufacturers including Apple, haven't yet had the time to do so. The patches issued to date have mitigated the vulnerabilities a bit but still haven't solved them.

Zero day vulnerabilities abound. These are vulnerabilities that are undocumented, known to only a handful of hackers, corporations or nations. If THEY are aware of vulnerabilities, why shouldn't manufacturers be aware of a few as well?

You show your ignorance every time you claim to KNOW that truly secure systems exist. Nothing is secure.
