Apple's new iOS update has a new security issue, even as it remedies an existing flaw

NEW UPDATE, NEW ISSUE. Apple's newest update fixes a security issue but has its own holes.

MANILA, Philippines – A day after Apple released iOS version 6.1.3 to resolve a security flaw that would enable someone to bypass the passcode security on an iPhone, it seems another security issue has been discovered.

Discovered and demonstrated on a YouTube video, the new security flaw occurs by forcibly glitching the phone by ejecting the SIM tray in mid-dial. The Next Web has verified this issue on an iPhone 4S, while iPhoneblog.de appears to have replicated the issue on the iPhone 5.

Users will have to wait for Apple to acknowledge and address the issue in yet another update before this new issue gets resolved. – Rappler.com
