That would be very huge news worth many millions of dollars as it's the critical piece of iOS device security.

- solarkraft 8y agoThat sounds like much to me, with a 2018 mindset. Is it not pretty easy to read out a chip nowadays, even at low double digit nanometer levels?
- userbinator 8y agoSomething "worth many millions of dollars" will most certainly be kept very quiet by the repair industry, since it can provide recurring revenue (until someone else discovers and reports it to Apple) to an otherwise extremely repair-hostile ecosystem. Bug bounties are a one-time deal that otherwise gives no advantage to the reporter, but unlocking services are not. These people are certainly not looking for a pat on the back from Apple or wanting to make its devices more difficult to repair.
