A close relative has an iPhone 8, so, absolutely, I believe there are probably millions of them in the wild and they'd be child's play to compromise.
If you are in the business of compromising, why would you not?
- theonemind 3y agoan iphone 8 can run ios 16, last updated Sept 21, 2023, less than a month ago https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_version_history https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_version_history & https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_8 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_8 I don't think Apple's patching every major security flaw on current - 1, but right at this moment, they're still able to run n - 1, which would probably put them roughly on par with the average on smartphone security, so I don't think it would be especially any more child's play than compromising an average phone, all things being equal (all things being equal, some people update, some don't; the iphone 8 on the latest iOS 16 is probably better than a later model lagged 3 years on updates) Although it's all downhill from here.
- __d 3y agoI run an iPhone8. As of now, it's running iOS 16.7 (20H19). I know it won't install iOS 17. So I figure I have about 12 months more of reasonable security updates. At this point, I'll likely get an iPhone SE 3rd generation to replace it.
