IT's a ton of work to make and push updates.
- fsflover 6y agoI am not speaking about making updates. I am speaking about preventing users from making them.
- zepto 6y agoYou know the answer to that - it prevent large classes of social engineering attack and is part of the overall security model.
- fsflover 6y agoEven when the device is no longer supported?
- zepto 6y agoI fully support allowing the device itself to have alternative OS installations after the end of official support. The reason 1st gen iPads don’t have this is fairly obvious though - the unlocking feature is itself a likely vector for attacks e.g. by law enforcement unlocking tools, etc. I’m not sure what it would take to enable it to be done securely without destroying the overall security model but it’s clearly not trivial, and would take some investment that certainly wasn’t possible at the time the 1st gen device was released.
