hal, as RAMd®d correctly guesses, it was a sarcastic jest, don't worry, I know you were not mad at me

This could be how some of the companies can access your iPhone without your permission.
Apple should make it easier for home hackers to modify their iPhones, then these kind of exploits would be far less of a target.

Without the Cydia store, I don't have much to do with a jailbroken iPhone.

Wow, I didn't know it had closed. But I walked away from jailbreaking awhile ago.

I was thinking of the companies that law enforcement use to break into confiscated iPhones. But other examples come to mind too.

It’s a tethered jailbreak. Nearly worthless for the average user but great for governments and corporations that can demand physical access.
Works up to the iPhone X.
Great reason to upgrade if you want to keep your privacy.
