Apple Security Research Device Program
I wonder how much people are able to publish about the device. I&#x27;d expect not much, but it&#x27;d be nice to be able to compare a iPhone that was completely unlocked (at least, to whatever that means for Apple) with whatever security they put on the ARM Macs which are supposed to be &quot;open for hobbyists&quot;. I&#x27;d expect that the ARM Macs have much of the same security stack (by default) that iOS devices have given what they said in the WWDC talks, but maybe that&#x27;s not the case.<p>Also, if you found an exploit on a research iPhone because you made use of entitlements that were Apple-only, I wonder if that&#x27;d be worth anything bounty wise. Nobody can&#x2F;should be able to write an that&#x27;ll get through App Store checks if they asked for PLZ_NO_SANDBOX_ILL_BE_GOOD or something (at least, that&#x27;s what I thought before the whole Snapchat system call thing happened). But hypothetically the App Store review process is vulnerable to a bad actor inside Apple pushing an update to a big app that included malware, so I&#x27;d think that private entitlements shouldn&#x27;t be available at all to binaries that didn&#x27;t ship with the device&#x2F;in a system update (unless some kind of hobbyist flag was flipped by the consumer). So I&#x27;d say that would be worth something, even if smaller than a more interesting exploit.
