Optimization is not the same as security. The first iPhone was jail broken and unlocked within days of its release IIRC. As the years went on, we were lucky to get a jailbreak at all. In fact, checkra1n was the newest exploit in a long time. Yes, their quality has gone down a bit, but don’t confuse that with their security measures.

- mschuster91 6y agoApple effectively put an end to the jailbreak scene by allowing people to compile their own applications without paying a dime. Put the incentive away and suddenly there's a lot less eyes on the code.
