Except implementing the functionality to optionally open up your device to the world inherently makes it less secure. I now have no ability to purchase the phone that I want. It's actually decreasing consumer choice.
- wizzwizz4 1y agoAre there any versions of iOS without jailbreak exploits in them? The security was always theatre.
- _benton 1y agoI think all recent iOS versions have no public jailbreak exploits.
- wizzwizz4 1y agoThere are jailbreaks available for iOS 16.6.1 (released in 2023), and every iOS version prior to it. I count that as "recent", though I understand either way. Recent versions of iOS have specific anti-jailbreak mechanisms (anti-downgrade mechanisms, ephemeral root filesystems) which don't provide general security, so they're sort of cheating. These mechanisms just mean it's harder to use the vulnerabilities for good, without significantly stymieing evil. (And they aren't wholly effective, seeing as 16.6.1 contains all of them, and it's still got a semi-untethered jailbreak.)
- McDyver 1y agoI'm sure you won't have to worry. If apple is incompetent and makes it less secure, I'm sure they'll fix it.
- fsflover 1y ago> implementing the functionality to optionally open up your device to the world inherently makes it less secure Are you saying that Qubes OS is less secure than iOS?
