A step in the right direction: Apple recently announced that next year security researchers will have access to special iPhones: https://www.theverge.com/2019/8/8/20756629/apple-iphone-secu...

I agree this is "a step in the right direction", but if the iPhones are special, would the exploit run on them?

I suppose it depends on how "special" they are—do they run standard iOS with normal Safari and actual apps?

I think it just means they can run unsigned code. But yes, I would presume that Safari and the other default apps are present.

Production iPhones can do that already. Three phones probably give researchers root access and allow for disabling AMFI, etc.
