Up to 200,000 iPhone users in New Zealand might want to consider a leash for their device following the latest security revelation that allows access to functions without entering a passcode.
Users will have to wait until at least sometime next month for the release of a fix with the iOS 4.2 software update, according to Apple's communications manager Fiona Martin via email.
No further information was provided.
Reports of the security flaw in Apple’s iOS 4.1 operating system suggests users can make calls, access the address book, voicemail and call history while a passcode is in place.
The iOS 4.1 operating system is used on the iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS and the new iPhone 4.
Apple released iOS 4.1 just last month to fix a host of other problems plaguing iPhone 4 users.
