This behavior is endemic for the self-righteous security "researcher" scene. "I found a bug - you must do what I say, NOW, or else ..."

Yes, and that behavior is moving us to a world where corporations have to be careful what they put out, not just rush the newest shiny feature out faster. Besides, who do you want exploiting the bug, a self-righteous guy who 'may' be in it for his own glory, or an out-and-out criminal?

He says he reported the bug previously and got no response...

So, it's very much "like Apple would have ignored his bug reports..."

What he leaves out is that he waited less than a day for a response. (You can see this from the radar shown in his video)
