> I assume Apple is probably going to bring this back to pacify

Pegasus and Predator were VERY widely publicised exploits in iOS, I find it shortsighted for Apple not to have control over how these get identified in the first place.

It's also frustrating that the entire "your iPhone is safe and private" assumption is a black box and we only have Fruitcorp's assurances that they're doing the right thing. So imagine, people finding all kinds of bugs on iOS26 ... how is one to believe these bugs and glitches don't extend into security features as well?



Obviously they do, hence the market for exploits. I'm not sure what you are suggesting they do differently, though.


The opposite of what the blogpost informs us they did? Provide more tools and systems to discover and diagnose vulnerabilities, make components open source/open audit, etc. There is non perfect system, but a closed imperfect system is worst.


One of the iVerify people (which this blog post comes from) spoke at CCC about what Apple could do to improve detection of IOCs:

The relevant bits I was talking about starts at 41:15.


I agree but the blog post is completely orthogonal to that
