Re: Baseband processor

When I worked in mobile phone software there was no mechanism for the networks to update the mobile phone firmware. They could have SIM apps but those had limited capability. It may have changed in the last ten years, but why would network operators want to develop mobile phone firmware?

I could imagine a supplyer to Apple or one of the other big phone companies putting something dodgy in their firmware so I would not have absolute trust in any device.

Re: Input range checking

If a SW engineer tried to add input validation with some arbitary limits then the code would likly never complete code review. There would be a debate, possibly going on for months as to exactly what the limits should be.
