Vulnerable != Broken. An iPhone SE is vulnerable to the same bug used by checkra1n. Is it broken?
- GeekyBear 5y agoCheckra1n relies on a hardware issue that cannot be patched. Software zero days can be patched and on Android even the vendors with the best support policies only cover half as many years. Cheap Android phones don't even get that. The OG iPhone SE is on it's sixth year of OS updates. The iPhone 5s just got it's eighth year of security updates.
- goosedragons 5y agoWhich means it's permanently broken by your standards right? Or do you have some sort of non-nonsensical exception for hardware vulnerabilities?
- GeekyBear 5y agoBy your standards a flaw that will never be patched is perfectly acceptable. Even if it's a software flaw that can easily be patched, but the vendor prefers to force you to buy another device and toss the first into a landfill.
