Apple Notification Trigger News Today

However, executives believe that the onus is on Apple to clarify whether this was a false alarm or the threat was real. “In this case, what is the accuracy of the detection, that needs to be checked. But it’s not out of the realms of possibility. If it is a false alarm, Apple will have to figure out and say it is a false alarm. The onus might have to be on Apple to clarify that because it was Apple which sent out the notification,” an executive said.

Apple will examine to see how, where, and when did the alerts go out as the allegations from individuals have taken on a sensitive nature, industry executives directly aware of the matter told ET. “There is a bit of a difference between a regular individual seeing their iPhone coming under attack and a political leader claiming it is state-sponsored espionage and snooping,” one of the industry executives said.
