What about older 32 bit iOS devices that can't be updated past iOS 10? Will they issue an update for them or do you just have to turn off iMessage? Still have a perfectly functional Series 4 iPad
This is fixed in iOS 12.3 [1] and macOS 10.14.5 [2], both released on May 13th. As Natalie noted on the ticket, turning off iMessage will also prevent the bug. [1]: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210118 [2]: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210119

Turning off iMessage to prevent the bug is like turning off a car to prevent to consume petrol.. what a solution

Days of XP are in the past and even Windows 7/Windows 2008 fairs better than Apple OSX and iOS.

Even now, I don't think any of macOS's recent failings are as bad as the Windows 10 update that deleted user documents [0], or all the official spyware and adware in the only operating system where you have to pay to even customize your wallpaper. As for mobile, does anybody remember hearing of any iOS cross-app malware ("viruses") in the decade since it launched? I think that's pretty amazing. [0] https://www.google…
They were actively misleading peoplebby running advertisements claiming MACs don't get virueses[2].

Can this be avoided by disabling iMessage notifications? > The calling method then calls -[IMBalloonPluginDataSource _replaceHandleWithContactNameInString:] which calls im_handleIdentifiers on the 'NSString' which is really an NSNumber, which throws an exception as the selector does not exist in that class. Looks like they need to move more of their stuff to Swift to reduce snarfles like this. Stories like these (thi…

That's like saying that with a faulty hard drive you can only lose data if you're not backing it up.
Close, but imprecise. I’m saying two things: You can lose data with a faulty hard drive if your backup is silently corrupted and you don’t realize it. That’s not a risk here, as long as before restoring from backup you upgrade the phone OS to patch the bug. Also, you can lose data with a faulty hard drive if you have no backup. Rooters especially will care about these points since they typically cannot restore from b…

Apple sells privacy and security so they should live up to the standards they have set for themselves[1].
