I don’t think this would suffice since the regulations would apply to EVERY iOS device, not just a specific iPhone.

Agree - the time to have launched a "dev/gamer" phone (maybe call it the xPhone with xOs) was probably 2 years ago when they first got a whiff of these regulations.

They could then have done a more controlled experiment on a subset of willing participants and had a much smaller blast radius if things got really hacked.

Now that the regulations are here its too late.

I’m far more excited about what this may unlock for the iPad than the iPhone. I might actually be able to use it to the capabilities of its hardware.

Give every iPhone User the option to switch modes. ;)
