Re: There’s a $10m bounty…
"They were wrong, and the latest 'fix' is lockdown mode."
No, and no.
'Wrong' implies a viewpoint which has been discredited. Apple has operated a bug bounty programme for years, and this isn't the first time they've offered millions of dollars for discovery; so they have demonstrably long held the viewpoint that others might be able to spot things they haven't.
Lockdown mode isn't a 'fix'. It's a feature intended for a small group of people who are prepared to sacrifice a substantial degree of functionality in return for a higher level of security. For the average Joe, it won't 'fix' anything; in fact they probably won't even know or care that it exists.
