iPhone Crash / Reboot Exploit

[Rytiou]

So there has been a bug found in the most recent iOS that effectively let's you crash anybodies iPhone. Just copy this below and send them a text message. You can change to first 2 words to be anything you want as long as the format is the same. Also, it won't work if they have their messaging app open when it is sent. Believe it crashes because of the way it displays the notification. Not sure how long this will stay around but I'm sure it can give you a good laugh or two.

effective.

Actually it's been around a while. It crashes because Apple doesn't agree with Unicode.
Edit: To clarify it is a bug, Apple isn't just being stubborn. I wouldn't put it past them to try to create a brand new format though.

Ha, that sounds like something they'd do.

Well I can confirm this works, it doesn't crash the phone it crashes iMessage. Got a pretty funny phone call from my mom hahaha

I tested a similar bug out over a year ago, you would think it had been fixed by now.

I see the characters changed as well. In 2013 this it was: سمَـَّوُوُحخ ̷̴̐خ ̷̴̐خ ̷̴̐خ امارتيخ ̷̴̐خ

Did that do anything?

Maybe this current string is different from the 2013 one?

You mean create a whole new phone to sell for 400% markup lol.

I don't own an iPhone, but from what it sounds like, only happening with the notifications, an open access point with the unicode ssid might not work. Unless the ssid is in the notification maybe? Idk, would be cool to test out though.
