@ 2017/03/13911 glitch was the tip of the ice-burg
Last year the iPhone suffered from a security glitch that caused iPhones to repeatedly dial 911 without user intervention.
At the time one 911 centre nearly crashed under the weight of compromised iPhones ringing it and two others were close to melt-down. The Tame Apple Press played down the crisis because it did not matter if people died, it was more important that people bought iPhones. It was swift to blame Meetkumar Desai, the student who created the code as a proof of concept to claim a bug bounty from Apple. He claimed to have accidentally posted the version that called 911 when he meant to post a version that would generate a pop-up and freeze phones.
