I don't know why I bothered, but I clicked on the link:
Dateline 31 December 2019
o *Apple accused of crackdown on jailbreaking*
https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-50956680

Um... what's the "news" in that?
o And what does it have to do with the r.p.d ng?

What the article seems to say is...
"Corellium specialises in virtualising iOS software, which it says
allows security researchers to discover bugs within the platform."

"However, Apple has accused the firm of encouraging users to sell any
flaws they discover to the open market for the highest price."

As for flaws, it's well known that Google proved beyond any doubt (and
Apple did not dispute and could not dispute) that iOS was essentially
untested for years on end (it was proven untested by Google in detail).

It's also widely known that there are so many flaws on iOS that a mere
child could find them (and did); and that mere journalists could find them
in a day (and did); and that security researchers could find them in five
minutes (and did).

Apple iOS 13 had so many security/privacy flaws that Apple _knew_ about
months before shipping, which merely proved (yet again, as what happened in
iOS 10 with Broadcom flaws Apple had fixes in hand and still shipped) that
Apple yet again proved the age-old maxim about iOS:
o *Apple prefers to ship on schedule, rather than to ship quality*

It's one reason why the going rate for iOS holes has dropped drastically
o There's just too many of them out there in the supply/demand curve.

All these facts were already covered, in detail, on the iOS newsgroup:
o http://tinyurl.com/misc-phone-mobile-iphone
o http://misc.phone.mobile.iphone.narkive.com

Dispute any of them, nospam, and I'll clearly report the cite that backs
them up as my facts are never wrong; where I am not reporting the cites
here 'cuz this is a photo newsgroup, so the point was just to figure out
what the article was about.

Note: In decades on Usenet my facts have never been materially wrong simply
because I'm a well-educated adult who owns a belief system _based_ on
facts. Trust me, the apologists (like Savageduck & nospam) have tried,
valiently, to find a _single_ fact materially wrong - and have failed.

It's not because I'm something special as I'm simply an adult who owns a
belief system which is _based_ on facts.

You never miss a chance, nospam, to prove your mind is that of a child.
