Calif CEO @XorNinja reveals how his team hacked an iPhone and maintained root access even after rebooting or updating the device, challenging one of the most common pieces of iPhone security advice: "In software security, the iPhone is like the holy grail of vulnerability exploitation." "Since Apple introduced MIE, which is a hardware mitigation mechanism, since last year, nobody actually has published any public iPhone exploit. So we really, really wanted to hack the iPhone for that reason." "We managed to get root access to the iPhone and even persistent access." "In the past people said one of the best practices for iPhone security is to reboot your phone after a while because all the malware would go away." "But we show that there's ways to persist our attacks even if you reboot or you upgrade your iPhone." @calif_io

Ruby Justice-Thelot thinks it's crazy that we're all using the same phones in 2026: "A person was able to code their own interface for their Roku TV. They were able to remove the ads using AI." "How do I remake my home screen? How do I remake my mail app in order for it to serve me?" "Sometimes I jokingly say that I think it is crazy that we all have the same phone in 2026 because we're all so different." "I bet we will see the rise of calmer interfaces, but made by individuals for individuals." @being_on_line
