However that might be a bad move, at least according to independent security analyst Dino Dai Zovi, who gave an interview at Hack In The Box security conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Mr Dai Zovi said “That will make the iPhone x86, and that will make a lot of attacks easier.” According to him “The iPhone uses the Arm processor, and most people are not familiar with it. If you’re doing exploits and vulnerability research, you need to know the specifics of the processor that’s running.”
Intel refused to comment on this, stating that as of now everything relating to Moorestown being used in the iPhone is just a speculation.In other news, Mr Dai Zovi also noted that the redux version of Mac OS X that powers the iPhone is less secure than its desktop countepart: “The iPhone is significantly less secure than the desktop version of OS X,” he said, noting that it’s missing a lot of security features that the full version of OS X includes.
