iPhone USB-C is hackable, but users don't need to worry yet

That's not what it sounds like. This is what happens when politicians force reasonable tech standards but let the companies in question implement the standard as cheaply as they want.

Security researcher Thomas Roth recently uncovered several vulnerabilities in Apple's ACE3 USB-C controller for the iPhone 15 and 16. Although no immediate action is required from users, and these vulnerabilities don't affect Android devices, Roth's findings underscore the possibility of future attack methods being developed.

Emphasis mine.

Apple knew they were going to be forced to change, and they could have found a better controller, but they didn't. They could have followed suit with the Android industry, but they just had to do things in that "walled-garden" way only Apple does.

Apple has used usb C for years. They source a faulty controller for the iPhone. The fact that android devices and even iPads aren't affected is signal enough this is not a USBC specific issue, much less a politically forced standard issue.

If the Problem was with USB-C, why in gods Name dosent my Android phone have this vulnerability?

LOL. Apple makes shoddy hardware but Apple fanboys have to find the blame somewhere else of course. Could never be Apple making a mistake. No no no, somebody else fucked up.

Also, if Apple's major defense is obfuscation, well...

This is a really stupid comment.
