It's interesting how the progress of iPhone hacks is mirroring that of the PSP homebrew scene 5 or 6 years ago. First there were a bunch of easy to use vulnerabilities or hidden features in apps (like the hidden browser in WipeOut)that provided functions that were offered natively in future versions of the OS. Then the hacking scene moved to OS vulnerabilities. As Sony locked down the platform tighter and tighter, people moved to hardware, using modded batteries to boot the PSP in some kind of troubleshooting mode. Eventually, both Sony and the hackers kind of lost interest, I think -- I haven't kept up with things, TBH. That said, Sony had the PS Vita to move to, but I don't see the iPhone changing significantly in the next few years (risky words, I know, but I'll be happy if proven wrong). |
