:: NEWS Hackers find New way to unlock any iPhone a Day after Apple releases update to fix passcode flaw

Apple has been left red-faced again after a fresh security breach was discovered in the iPhone's software the day after it released an update fixing the last one.
The new vulnerability differs from the passcode bug fixed by the latest iOS update but it too gives unauthorised access to the phone's contacts and photos.

It emerged after the Silicon Valley firm released iOS 6.1.3, which put a stop to hackers who discovered a simple combination of button presses to bypass the phone's lock screen.

The new lock screen bug is slightly less complicated and involves ejecting the iPhone's SIM card while using its built-in voice controls to make a phone call.

The hack involves activating voice dialling mode from the lock screen and instructing the phone to make a call, then ejecting the SIM card at just the right moment.

That brings up the phone's dialling pad, from where the contacts list can be accessed and, via that list, the owner's photos.

Apple has yet to comment.
