New iOS bug appears: iPhone will crash after entering these four characters

According to news on August 22, network security researcher Konstantin discovered a bug in Apple iOS: after entering these four characters "": in the application library search bar and Spotlight search, the iPhone will crash immediately. It is reported that this error will reappear on operating systems such as iOS 17, iOS 18, and iOS 18.1, and iPad devices are not immune.
