As an A12 owner, I'm really happy my device is now reasonably more secure if taken into a government back room during customs or via an evil maid attack. Different perspective I suppose.


willfully sacrificing freedom for security writ small.


Intentionally buying and using a secure device isn't what that phrase is about. Benjamin Franklin wasnt arguing against safes.


how is this like a safe? you possess the keys to a safe you own. you do not possess the keys to iphones with a12 chips in the sense that this exploit delivers.


If we're keeping up with the safe analogy, this exploit doesn't give you the keys to your safe, it gives everyone the keys to your safe.


the safe analogy fails because again: no one except apple has the keys to the "safe" that they own
