A bug in Apple’s iOS means that anyone can crash an iPhone by simply sending it a certain string of characters in a message.

But now, it's back:
iOS bug lets anyone crash your iPhone with a text message

Some iPhone users are getting a flashback to 2013 as a new version of the so-called "Unicode of Death" has returned to wreak havoc with their iMessages.

Why do they keep doing this to themselves?

Wait, "utf-8 that decodes into infinitely repeating sequence"?
How can a format where the largest possible string of bytes is

Whoever wrote that doesn't know what they're talking about, is my guess. (There's some stuff on reddit where people are guessing a buffer overrun is leading to code execution...my guess someone thinks it's an infinite loop, and that there was a garbling somewhere.)

From your linked article:
When combined with an earlier vulnerability, named “Wi-Figate”, which lets attackers force a device to automatically connect to a given WiFi network, Skycure warns that an attack could be crafted which would [render] any iOS ... in a given area [unusable].
So you can craft a WiFi network that forces iOS devices to connect and triggers endless reboot cycles where the only solution is to move out of range? Who wants to help me kill Jeff's iOS devices?

No, we can text people to force their phone to reboot. Didn't you read the vulnerability?
A random SMS is likely to contain gibberish when interpreted as machine code.
