Meet Comex, The 19-Year-Old iPhone Uber-Hacker Who Keeps Outsmarting Apple
The kind of control Apple seeks (to what purpose is irrelevant) is doomed to fail. You simple cannot control a device once it's in the possession of an 'adversary' (which in this context seems to be the owner of the device).<p>Once the attacker (again, the owner of the phone who wants to jailbreak) has possession of the phone, he has complete control over it. I wonder if Apple has this internal posture that they should make appearances of caring about jailbreaking (for the benefit of the carriers and their contracts) but actually it's not such a big deal.
