Of course you're in here defending apple over the fact that thousands of people round the world have lost valuable information because of their clear inability to keep their precious iphone system safe.

What a waste. And to think some people pay almost $1000 for this

Cisus won't allow this to happen to my phone

Yeah when the hell is ATRL going to fix that?

A friend tried to send me the code, but it didn't work. I sent it to my other friend and my brother's phone which shutdown their phone, but then after that my friends and my iMessage wasn't working, but I fixed both of ours so it's working. Never doing that mess again.

My stupid cousin sent it to me and suddenly mi iPhone started to reboot.

Title is misleading it's not a virus. It's a bug in the OS with notification banners / push notifications and how they are mishandling a specific series of unicode characters. Still a pretty bad but bug but not a virus.

Having the phone reboot isn't going to cause data lose and unless you have went through the process of putting an app on their store you don't know what a pain in the ass it can be. They don't mess around. They will reject an app just for failing to add context on the stores app page about it's usage of location services being active while the app is back grounded. Plus they will grill you as to why you need such behavior. Our average wait time for a review is 1 week, it used to be 2. Bigger companies get special treatment and can release quicker. We can always fast track it with a ticket but you don't want to abuse that.

I'm not even a huge iOS fan it's just part of my job to deal with it and it is by far more secure then Android.

Cringe. that's why you don't get products (other than Macs) from Apple.

More embarrassing, is being able to download an ACTUAL virus from the its own store and surfing the web,

My friend and I send that to each other just to piss each other off
