mine's safe, thank you (only ios 11.2.5 affected by that) [i'm running ios 9.0.5 as it came OOTB]
And no once that malformed command's got executed the phone resprings [quickboots] constantly until it's shut down [softreset] and in case of a cached webpage in safari or malformed message it'll happen again the next time you try to use the browser or messenger.
(at least that's what I understood from that 'newsflash')
So yeah, phone without messenger/browser... not too smart anymore
IDK, I don't understand why people are updating their flawlessly running operating system
or software at all.
BUt I'm the only one nowadays.
fixing a bug would be nice, but fixing one and adding six new ones is just crap..
and all (samsung and apple) both admitted already they slow down older devices with OS updates in order to sell more new ones.
Why would I want to slow down my devices?
*shrugs* this amazes me day after day..
