It has always been suggested that Apple and Linux products are safer than the competition.
How it came out now is not true.

Almost every Apple product is affected by a security vulnerability.
This vulnerability in the processors is present in Apple's iPhones, iPads and Mac computers. This is based on computer processors and is the most extensive gap of all.

Apple then announced that it would close it with a software update for the Safari web browser.

This gap is based on serious vulnerabilities from processor manufacturers Intel, AMD and ARM. This allows hackers to steal sensitive data such as passwords via the browser.

Apple has already closed the security gap for Intel processors.

As I read from various sources, the manufacturers have been aware of this gap for more than 2 years! They only reacted to this when the public heard about it.

If that's true, I think this is a big mess.

Now the question arises, can this security hole be filled at all? Is it just a pretext for manufacturers to close them with a browser?
