Apple has firmware restore features in ROM. I would also assume (hope?) that there’s a procedure to enter the ROM-based restore that is impossible to intercept in software (maybe holding the power button for 10 seconds initiates a hardware

I don’t know about the original claim either way, but I would be even more impressed and scared if it survived an iTunes restore (basically a PC reflashes the iPhone’s OS image with an image downloaded from Apple.)

I'm curious, why can't you get digital OTA TV? I haven't tried to use it myself.

Doesn’t that mean alternative browser engines are permitted, albeit they might perform slowly?

Honest question: What would a law (or other manifestation) of collective rights look like, and how does it differ from individual rights?

It seems to me they could MITM the SATA link and effectively do the "HDDHackr" method to make that work. I don't know though.
