Correct. iPhone 14 and under are not affected because they don’t have the texas instruments usb-c controllers. The mandated change brought about the new requirement. They had to move to a less researched, and obviously less secure format. Itll get better as we go, but its going to be hell for a while as these new flaws are found.
It’s also not an issue on every other USB c controller made.
It’s an apple issue because Apple made poor choices because Apple insists they have to be different in a special broken way. Because people like you are too far up your own ass to know any better.

Yes. This controller was specifically created for Apple and it’s a proprietary chip.
No other manufacturer uses it, and thus no other manufacturer has these security flaws. Apple didn’t rely on existing, tried and tested controllers but had to make something proprietary and ‘special’, and the fucked up in doing so.
Are you about to pivot into Chinese conspiracy theories? Because if so, I don’t care, unless you have evidence for this specific USB-C controller.
Mf did you even watch the video? The security researcher explains what happened when the EU forced apple to move to USB-C.
They say what controller they used, which manufacturer made it, how it was exploited, and how that wasn’t an issue on the lightning port.
Apple messed up is what happened. None of the other manufacturers appears to have this issue, despite the same legislation applying to them.
This is solely on Apple fucking up.

How come it’s only Apple devices that are affected and not the others?
Are apple devices the only phones that use the Texas Instruments ACE3 controller?
Yes. This controller was specifically created for Apple and it’s a proprietary chip.
No other manufacturer uses it, and thus no other manufacturer has these security flaws. Apple didn’t rely on existing, tried and tested controllers but had to make something proprietary and ‘special’, and the fucked up in doing so.
They had used the ACE2 in previous models, which didn’t have these flaws. What was the difference?
