Apple iPhone, MacBook security flaw could allow hackers access to email, other data

While Apple’s iPhone, iPad and MacBook chips might be ahead of the competition, a new report has discovered a security loophole.

The ‘Side-channel’ hack allows people to gain unauthorized remote access to your user data, which could include your location, email, and credit card information. This hack happens when browsing the web, but the researchers who found it have brought it up to Apple so it’s expected to be fixed soon.

The report says that the following devices have the security flaw:

• All Macbook Air and Pro models from 2022 onwards.
• All Mac mini, iMac, Mac Studio and Mac Pro models from 2023 onwards.
• All iPad Pro, Air and mini models from 2021 onwards.
• All iPhones from 2021 onwards.

Apple says the flaw doesn’t pose an immediate risk but plans to patch the issues soon.
