Apple’s iOS 7 has been a lightning rod of controversy over the last week. The operating system has been called the very best mobile software Apple has ever released by the company’s hardcore fans, while those who aren’t so quick to sing its praises say that it has much room for improvement. Of course, that […]
This week a hoax was dropped by the likes of some as-yet-unknown graphic designer who had a hankering for some iOS 7 trickery. The first joke in this series consisted of a series of images that suggested an upgrade to iOS 7 would include full waterproofing of whatever device you bumped to the new operating […]

iOS users are delighted by the new iOS 7 rollout, available not only on the new iPhones, but on previous models as well. And unlike Android users, most of whom fail to upgrade to the latest operating system, iOS users tend to upgrade en masse, which means many, many people already have iOS 7 or will have it shortly.

Soon after Apple released iOS 7 to the public on September 18th, a bug was discovered in the lock screen. The bug could be exploited to gain unauthorized access to the e-mail, messages, Twitter, Photos and more of an iOS 7 device, even if a passcode was in place. Today, Apple has released iOS 7.0.2 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch to fix this bug. The update weighs in at roughly 17MB, so there’s nothing major there except the bug fix and the reintroduction of a Greek keyboard option for passcode entry.
A few days ago, yet another bug was discovered in iOS 7. This one allows an intruder to make calls through an iPhone on iOS 7 even if it is locked with a passcode. Exploiting this bug is simple, one just needs to bring up the emergency dialing option on the lock screen, dial the number that is to be called and repeatedly press the call button. The iPhone will display a black screen with the Apple logo and put the call through, even if its an international or premium number. The changelog of IOS 7.0.2 does not reflect that it fixes this bug as well, Apple will probably release a fix for it in the near future.

Apple confirmed and assured everyone that it was working on a fix to the iOS 7 lockscreen bypass bug last week that let sneaky individuals mess with users’ email and social network accounts. And now, exactly seven days later, said update is hitting handsets in the form of iOS 7.0.2. Directly to the point, the update is said to “fi[x] bugs that could allow someone to bypass the lock screen passcode.” And hey, there’s also a Greek keyboard option for passcodes thrown into the update for good measure.
