Why is it Apple NEVER finds these bugs which are exploited in the wild
which impact almost EVERYTHING Apple sells?

*Why is it that someone else ALWAYS finds Apple's huge exploits first?*

Specifically...

Why doesn't Apple spend a penny more in R&D instead of millions in
meaningless marketing slogans (like "Apple Silicon", which is a lie).

*Why is it Apple's R&D team is the _last_ to know about exploited holes?*

Maybe Apple might find these huge holes in all their products BEFORE the
rest of the world does if Apple spent a penny more in R&D instead of its
millions in marketing?

Apple spends literally billions of dollars (specifically, $25.262
billion in the 12 months ending June 30, 2022).

That's more than all but a SMALL handful of companies in the world.

All great discoveries are made by mistake. -- Young
