I don't understand why Apple doesn't have a well-funded bug bounty program. You would think that companies would welcome people finding bugs in their software. Hell, they could give away free MacBook Pro laptops, phones, and IPads along with CASH!!!

I agree. Considering that giving away a dev style laptop would be a nice reward, it’s weird that they do not leverage their products as reward.

High spec MBP + some cash goes a long way. Even engrave the freaking laptop to make it “sough after”.

They do have a well-funded and well-publicized bounty program for security exploits.

Would you agree that if it were really well known and earned a fair amount to hackers people would not end up throwing this stuff online (even on Twitter) because their PR team is the only one that gets affected in these cases?

Apple's bug bounty program does not cover macOS.

... for iOS
