Let's immediately jump into the basics of Apple's new iPhone 5s and set the tone. Apple consistently tells us that each new iPhone release is the "best iPhone yet".

We've already heard about an iOS 7 lock screen bug that allows a potential intruder to check out personal information such as email and photos, and now, a similar issue has been found on the new-look lock screen allowing any number to be dialed / called without access to the home screen. The emergency call feature, which has naturally been put in place to facilitate emergency calls on any device, is, and not for the first time, the culprit here, and below, you'll see a video sent to Forbes reporter Andy Greenberg that demonstrates how very easy it could be for someone to rack up a huge phone bill.
