There are so many bugs in iOS that are years old and still unfixed.<p>One example is the cellular-data draining bug[1]. The only &quot;solution&quot; for this is to wipe your device, and set it up again, <i>without</i> restoring any backups, at all. Which makes the whole point of backups of the device totally pointless.<p>For a company that spent $6B+ on a (now mostly empty) campus, you&#x27;d think they could spare a few $million into proper QA&#x2F;Testing.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mjtsai.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;2019&#x2F;07&#x2F;26&#x2F;broken-ios-cellular-data-switch&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mjtsai.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;2019&#x2F;07&#x2F;26&#x2F;broken-ios-cellular-data-...</a>

&gt; This bug was initially reported on August 10th<p>They had plenty of time. You did the right thing by disclosing.

Uh.<p>I wonder if this can still be triggered when the Home application has been removed from the device? I expect so as IIRC builtin-in application removal is really just hiding them and all the functions are part of priviledged bundles shipped with the OS.

What is it with iOS and string parsing bugs? First it was iMessage content then it was SSIDs now it&#x27;s LAN device names? Oof

This looks nasty, I hope they patch this soon.

Why didn’t they add a string limit?
