In the last 24 hours:
1. iPhone 11 through 16 are apparently vulnerable to remote attacks.
2. SSL certificates are broken until browsers remove eMudhra CA.
3. PHP >9 vulnerability CVE published (tomorrow).
The world is about to witness things that have never been seen before.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The post's iPhone claim is inaccurate; a leaked Cellebrite forensic tool targets a Bluetooth bug patched in iOS 26.5 and does not affect updated devices. The eMudhra CA and PHP issues are real incidents but framed sensationally.

Best thing about AI is that it has now become a way to clean up human slop.
All of the terrible software you’ve dealt with over the past 20 years can now be solved.
Ok so I did the TV hack thing…
What started as a very conservative exploration has led to a fully custom home launcher with layouts, backgrounds, material choices and lots of customisation available.
I no longer have to deal with Samsung Smart Hub nonsense.
It's already live and working but now in a massive refinement pass thats been running while I'm in meetings.

Narrative Violation: AI is actually REMOVING Human Slop.
It will still pass if the users can see in the app all the citations, such as peer-reviewed references and formulas on which calculations are done, and also if the app is published under a company account.
Existing apps not meeting the criteria will most likely soon get removed.
All work is repetitive except for innovation, and this was obvious before AI.
AI has made one thing very clear, most of our daily work is repeating.
emails, reports, replies, small updates. when a machine can do these in seconds, we finally see how much of our day was copying the same thing again and again. the work that's left is the part only a person can do, and that part was always the real job.
If an AI is reviewing anything at any stage of the process, have it done during submission or validation, without making the dev wait for days for a possible rejection.
I know Apple new leadership is putting a lot of focus on the App Store, and the company seems more open to listening to developers. Here are a few ideas I’d love to see:
1. Gradual app rollouts
When you have a lot of users, releasing a buggy update can be very costly. It would be great to roll out new builds to a small percentage of users first, then gradually increase the rollout. And, of course, have the option to quickly roll back an update if something goes wrong.
2. Search query analytics
It would be great to see which search terms lead users to download your app. Apple already has this data. Sharing it with developers would help us better understand our audience, improve ASO, and build products that better match what users are looking for.
3. A warning system for developer accounts
How about a yellow card system before closing developer accounts? Everyone should have a chance to fix an honest mistake, as long as it’s not a serious or intentional violation. Give developers a warning and time to fix the issue. If it happens again, then take stronger action, up to account termination.
Sometimes, a warning and a chance to fix things can make all the difference.
@johnternus 👋
At the current pace, with proper parenting and diet they’ll be full grown terminators by the end of the week.

it’s clear we need to retire the term vibe coding because the models now produce better architecture & way more coherent code than an average software engineer.
perhaps even better than top software engineers too because unlike a human, ai has a much much larger context window.
this ain’t vibe coding at all. it’s precision engineering.
100% on using new iOS features. Apple devrel reps might contact you for feedback and you will then have the opportunity to establish something ongoing.
Happened when I added Apple Intelligence features early on.
for founders trying to get through apple review, a few tips:
- the review team is completely siloed from the rest of the org. even apple's own apps get stuck in review. they're just like us
- call apple. there are advocates on your side who can petition the review team
- your app category matters a lot
- apple loves when you use their new features. siri ai is going to be a big one
- once you get big enough, they'll start reaching out to you
- don't do anything tricky. if enough people are affected, they will ban you
This should’ve been how it was made the first time. Now they need to fix the chat vs. work thing so that users don’t need to think about it ever.
