A Message about iOS Security

The general population of iPhone owners don't have the technical knowledge to understand the nuance of the actual vulnerability and exploit, so for many of them it probably wasn't a "neutral event". The subject of the article does come off as a bit defensive - though much less so than it could've - but I understand why they felt the need to tell their side of the story.

I mean, it is by definition defensive. They're pushing back against some of P0's claims.

Project Zero (whether it's housed at Google or not) has a vested interest in making their detections as newsworthy as possible. Apple has a vested interest in downplaying those claims as much as possible.

Edit: This article points out that some of Apple's wording wasn't as good-faith as it may've seemed: https://www.theverge.com/2019/9/6/20853393/apple-iphone-ios-...

While I do admit that I agree with a few of those points, the Verge isn't exactly reporting in good-faith either, IMO. They are very biased against Apple, for whatever reason.
