New iOS 7 has Bug that Lets Anyone Bypass iPhone Lockscreen To Access Photos

The new Apple mobile operating system has been in the public’s hands for all of 48 hours, but a user has already found a bug  that blows a hole in its security protections.

Jose Rodriguez, an iPhone user who lives on the Spanish island of Tenerife recorded a video showing how to bypass the lockscreen on Apple’s beta version of iOS 7 in just a few seconds. By opening iOS’s Control Room and accessing the phone’s calculator application before opening the phone’s camera, anyone can access, delete, email, upload or tweet the device’s photos without knowing its passcode.
