RE: Crucial iPhone source code posted in unprecedented leak

in #apple7 years ago

iOS sits in a weird space for me. On the one hand, I understand it has it's place (trying) to be user friendly and relatively simple. That has been what Apple has done best in my opinion. On the other hand, I really wish the ecosystem was more open and we could probe the system and bring some of the enhancements they have to other ARM based computers and OSes, if at all possible. I am a big fan of users having complete control over their system, and this could allow it if in the right hands. In the wrong hands, this could turn dangerous and make iOS a huge attack point if people can execute code early and silently. Who knows though. We have to constantly find the right balance of security and openness, even though some might say one leads to the other.
