Apple says recent Wikileaks CIA docs detail old, fixed iPhone and Mac exploits
If you're not familiar with the iPhone platform and you're interested in just one technical detail to help navigate these stories, let it be this: the iPhone 3G platform bears very little resemblance to the modern, post-touch-ID phone. The platform security system at every level, from boot chain to hardware domains to OS security, evolved more in the last 10 years than any previous platform had in 20 years prior.That doesn't make an iPhone 7 impregnable, but it should inform any analysis you do of stories about phones being tampered with "starting in 2008"; that's a little like talking about SMTP server security "starting in 1993".
