A group of researchers from the Technical University of Darmstadt in Germany has found an exploit in iOS 15 with its new functionality that allows certain wireless chips to remain on even when the device is turned off. Although the claim was mostly theoretical and no evidence yet surface if the kind of exploit has been in the wild. Moreover, the researchers say that hackers would need to first jailbreak the iPhone before exploiting the Bluetooth chip that would give them access to other places to collect data. “It may be possible to exploit the Bluetooth chip directly and modify the firmware but the researchers did not do that and there isn't a known exploit that would currently allow that,” security researcher Ryan Duff said in an online chat with Motherboard after their review of the research paper. Apple today officially announced the next version of their popular mobile operating system, the iOS 5 which will be available to you iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch this July. iOS5 also introduced iMessage, Newstand, Reminders, multi-tasking gestures and Airplay mirroring (for iPad2). Check this keynote video of iOS 5 for a more complete and detailed coverage. iOS 5 will be compatible with the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad, iPad 2 and 3rd and 4th gen iPod Touch.
