Maybe they don&#x27;t want to sell it to apple because, assuming Apple hasn&#x27;t already fixed it and it is found in further generation phones, they could sell this exploit once to Apple or to quite a few big companies, governments and other entities. Please keep in mind that we still don&#x27;t know how they did that. They could have just dumped the flash memory And flashed it again if 10 passcodes failed (my guess), or they might have exploited a software bug.
