Sorry, I didn’t see the previous post. Different sources anyway, imho this one is a more complete analysis. I rewrote the original title since it was not informative enough ("A Remote iOS Bug”), and the subheading was too large to post (“apple wrote code to appease the chinese government ...it was buggy”). I don’t think the headline was misleading: the crash was absolutely related to the Taiwanese flag emoji censorship.

Just to clarify, the original submission headline was «iOS bug triggered by 🇹🇼 censorship». The emoji there had a literal rather than symbolic meaning.

I know, but emojis aren't allowed, because HN is a text-based site. That's why we took it out.
