They should pass a law that you’re required to support an internet connected device for at least two years, then there’s a three year period where you don’t necessarily have to support the device, but if you don’t, you’re required to release a jailbreak for it. Then after the five years, if you haven’t released a jailbreak, you can’t still sue anyone else who does it.

- Gigachad 4y agoThere is some user benefit to this. There is an old saying that when the attacker has physical access, its game over. But modern products are making that less true. Sure if the government has your device you might still be screwed, but the average person can't do anything with a locked iphone like they could a locked Win 7 era laptop. It would be fair to have a locked / unmodifiable initial boot step which shows a visible "unsecured" indication on every boot. If you installed a custom OS you can ignore this, if you didn't, you can worry.
