  The linked thread has no comments, whereas this has three. In fact the only useful link is the one it points to, which to save people's time is https://www.technologyreview.com/s/601748/apple-opens-up-iphone-code-in-what-could-be-savvy-strategy-or-security-screwup/ https://www.technologyreview.com/s/601748/apple-opens-up-iph...

  That article does not seem much better. They say the "code" has been exposed. I assume they mean machine code, not source code, but they don't specify. "Code" generally means source which is confusing. They speculate that Apple is opening up the kernel so people can report bugs, but if that was the case they would release the source, which they have not (although the Mac kernel is FOSS and the two share large amounts of code: http://opensource.apple.com/source/xnu/ http://opensource.apple.com/source/xnu/).

  We merged that thread with this one, and updated the link from http://9to5mac.com/2016/06/22/ios-10-kernel-unencrypted/ http://9to5mac.com/2016/06/22/ios-10-kernel-unencrypted/, which pointed to this.
