Hackers can force iOS and macOS browsers to divulge passwords and much more::iLeakage is practical and requires minimal resources. A patch isn't (yet) available.

While iLeakage works against Macs only when running Safari, iPhones and iPads can be attacked when running any browser because they’re all based on Apple’s WebKit browser engine.

This is one of the things with iOS , iPadOS that I really don’t like.

It is the single biggest reason why I havent thought about getting an iphone. I have an ipad and it is alright, but I have gone back to using the significantly worse specced Fire tablet, so I don't have to use Safari.

If they'd just allow other browsers, I'd love to get an iPad for creative work and to watch movies and shows in bed. My laptop does the job right now, but it gets too hot on my lap
