Re: And now this is the worst

SD3: "This was an iPhone 5c and running iOS 8. We wait for someone to do the same hack on iOS9 running on an 6S."

That's pretty lame... 1st gen - cracked. 3G - cracked. 3GS - cracked. 4 - cracked. 4S - cracked. 5 - cracked. 5C - cracked. ... Are you seeing a trend?

As for iOS, look at the list of vulnerabilities being fixed with iOS 9.3. About a dozen. You think that's the last such update? When people keep finding a dozen needles in the haystack every time they walk past, then you can bet that the haystack is laced with ten thousand more needles. Not even including the new ones that they're pouring in the top (new features, fresh vulnerabilities).

Any rational analysis clearly hints that we're at least a decade or more away from anyone actually implementing an actually uncrackable device. It's naïvite and/or hubris to believe otherwise.
