Google Updates Vs Apple Updates

Apple can push out an update to every single (compatible) iPhone in the world simultaneously.  but Just 7.5% of Android phones are currently running the most version of the OS, Marshmallow, which launched in October 2015. And more than half are running KitKat (which came out in October 2013) or an even older version of the operating system.

apple developers site got hacked

A Turkish security research, Ibrahim Balic, claims that he was behind the “hack” but insisted that his intention was to demonstrate that Apple’s system was leaking user information. He posted a video on Youtube which appears to show that the site was vulnerable to an attack, but adding “I have reported all the bugs I found to the company and waited for approval.” A screenshot in the video showed a bug filed on 19 July – the same day the site was taken down – saying “Data leaks user information. I think you should fix it as soon as possible.”

Apple said in an email to developers late on Sunday night that “an intruder attempted to secure personal information of our registered developers… [and] we have not been able to rule out the possibility that some developers’ names, mailing addresses and/or email addresses may have been accessed.”

It didn’t give any indication of who carried out the attack, or what their purpose might have been. Apple said it is “completely overhauling our developer systems, updating our server software, and rebuilding our entire database [of developer information].”
