IOS 6.1 Bug Allows Anyone to Bypass Lockscreen to Access Contacts, Voicemail, Photos

It's been a turbulent couple of months for Apple, Inc. (AAPL). While Apple fans still abound and sales remains strong, the iPhone 5 launch was marred with shocking bugs which included camera, connectivity, and battery life issues. And then there was the Maps debacle, which was so bad that Apple CEO Tim Cook personally apologized to fans, telling them to use Google Inc.'s (GOOG) superior (or functional) products. There've been shareholder lawsuits over Apple's profit hording and a dramatic plunge in stock prices after margins slid in Q4 2012.

Now there is a security flaw in iOS 6.1 that allows users to simply punch in a series of virtual and hard button presses to unlock an iPhone, bypassing the security passcode. The instructions are seen below in the YouTube video by VideosDeBarraquito:

A Apple já há muito tempo que não estava assim pressionada pela concorrência e quanto mais pressas, maior probabilidade de as coisas saírem menos bem.

Já lá vai o tempo em que a Apple não ligava puto ao que as outras marcas faziam, agora tem de lutar constantemente com os produtos concorrentes. E a prova disso é a redução substancial de tempo entre lançamentos e até produtos que antes diziam que nunca fariam, tal como o iPad Mini (mas com a ascensão dos tablets de 7, tiverem de entrar na corrida).
