It's sadly limited to the A11 (iPhone X) chips and everything before that.
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoThat's pretty darn great compared to the current situation. Perhaps not quite a return to the redsn0w days, but a major boon all the same. A (large?) majority of the iPhones currently in circulation will soon be Jailbreakable—not just for one brief moment in time (as with iOS 12.4), but on every future version of iOS. I didn't think that was ever going to happen again.
- Shank 7y agoAs an A12 owner, I'm really happy my device is now reasonably more secure if taken into a government back room during customs or via an evil maid attack. Different perspective I suppose.

- austhrow743 7y agoIntentionally buying and using a secure device isn't what that phrase is about. Benjamin Franklin wasnt arguing against safes.
- mlevental 7y agohow is this like a safe? you possess the keys to a safe you own. you do not possess the keys to iphones with a12 chips in the sense that this exploit delivers.
- oarsinsync 7y agoIf we're keeping up with the safe analogy, this exploit doesn't give you the keys to your safe, it gives everyone the keys to your safe.
- mlevental 7y agothe safe analogy fails because again: no one except apple has the keys to the "safe" that they own
