Apple apologises over major iPhone FaceTime snooping bug

Apple has apologised over a major FaceTime bug that let people listen in on others' iPhones. A fix has now been developed and rolled out on Apple's servers, and will be with users through an iOS update next week, it said. That will arrive as a normal iPhone software update. Until then, users are safe because Apple has turned off the affected group FaceTime feature entirely, stopping anyone conferencing calling. The apology comes days after it emerged that an issue with group FaceTime calls allowed people to listen in on other phones.
