Kaspersky finds a hardware backdoor in 5 generations of Apple silicon.
This backdoor allows complete remote access to, and control of, the affected devices …
It’s quite impossible for Apple to not have known about the backdoor in a CPU that their own engineers designed.
...it could be posited that Apple was required by some agency to create the backdoor for “purposes”.
The backdoor has been found in 5 generations of Apple mobile silicon, starting with the A12 CPU (iPhone X) and continuing to the A16 CPU (iPhone 14/15). These CPUs have been used in other Apple products like the iPad, Watch and TV, so the iPhone is not the only affected product.
