Yesterday, it came out that the iPhone has a serious security flaw that makes it so someone can hack into your phone even if there's a password activated. But now Apple is coming out and confirming the flaw and stating a fix is on the way.

We can expect a fix sometime in September, though Apple isn't all that concerned with it, calling it "minor." This is because you can easily hide the flaw by setting your home button to take you to your iPod instead of your favorites.

Maybe Apple is just overwhelmed with all the other fixes people are calling for? Even so, if you ask me, it's a bit discourteous to customers to dismiss the flaw so eagerly. But that's just my opinion.
