Another flaw involving the passcode lock has been found in iOS 6.1 and this is a serious exploit that can allow someone to access your contacts, photos, email and more, and load the information onto a computer using a USB port; while Apple failed to fix in iOS 6.1.2 the other passcode flaw that allowed a user to break in to a passcode locked phone. hopefully by iOS 6.1.3, the issue will be addressed...

"The most advanced OS in the world" seems to be the worst term to use with iOS since 2010. Apple, get your s--- together.

if you tilt the phone just so you can see the lines left in the face grease on the screen and get passed the pattern lock. Thats about all I can think of.
