Roughly three years ago, Apple began paying security researchers for discoveries of unknown vulnerabilities in iOS, and today, it’s responding to long-standing requests by adding macOS, watchOS, and tvOS devices to the list.

Additionally, the company is now offering a maximum reward of $1 million for the most serious security issues, providing researchers with even more incentive to report rather than horde their findings.

The news went public today at the annual Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas (via TechCrunch), where lead Apple security developer Ivan Krstić disclosed key updates to the bug bounty program.

Apple will now pay $1 million for a deadly serious exploit — a zero-click attack that enables complete, persistent control of an iPhone’s kernel with nothing more than knowledge of the device’s phone number — up from a peak of $200,000 before.

Less serious exploits will qualify for smaller amounts.

For the company, the risk of low payments has been that security researchers will instead hand their findings off to private organizations, such as Grayshift and Cellebrite, that will subsequently exploit Apple’s devices for profit.

To be fair, the convenience of being able to not just control your phone but access the “DeXtop” from any Windows or Mac computer is a major step forward, but it may have fallen short of what fans of the platform have been expecting or even requesting for a few months now.

The new DeX is the old Flow

It is indeed impressive that Samsung DeX can now “run on” a Windows or Mac computer without requiring anything but a USB cable.

Make no mistake, it’s still a convenient and practical new feature that does show DeX’s potential.

It sadly seems to stop at just that, potential.

One of the prevalent rumors about Samsung DeX before the Galaxy Note 10’s debut was its potential wireless connectivity.
