I love how people keep putting words on my mouth. How about you respond to what I actually said instead of constructing a straw man?
"Old" is not the same thing as "irrelevant", especially since the obvious point of my comment is the jailbreak ecosystem, not the devices. That it applies to older devices is important because that doesn't create the same kind of excitement and interest as if the iPhone 11 was hacked.
- hu3 7y agoWell you relegated iPhone X jailbreaking to "mostly academic". I think it's fair to say you called it irrelevant.
- detaro 7y agoSo what large developments do you expect from the iPhone X jailbreak?
- hu3 7y agoIs it that hard to imagine implications? Do you need convincing? For example, everyone's iPhone X and before being vulnerable to airport security scans. If they can root your device, they can install anything without your consent.

- hu3 7y agoData can be retrieved and stored. Just not decrypted, yet, as far as publicly known. Not to mention that allowing one to install anything on your device opens up the gates for a myriad of potential security exploits.
