Sorry, 40 years in the industry myself and have launched and sold multiple s/w companies. Currently MD of a multinational firm providing Linux, Android, and iOS s/w. I would very much like you to explain your “two clicks” method.

I had prepared this several days ago. . . and I thought I had posted it. . . but it's not here. I wonder what happened to it. There are several methods. Two will even bring up the Terminal with one click:

• One Click:
  • Have the Terminal App on the Dock. mouse to the Dock, hover over the Terminal Icon, click. Done.
  • Mouse to Spotlight, click, type "t", the word "terminal" will appear, press return. Done.
• Two Clicks:
  • Place a Terminal App Icon Alias on the desktop, mouse to it and double click. Done.
  • If you frequently use the Terminal, which I do, mouse to black Apple Icon, click, mouse to Recent Items, mouse over to Terminal, click. Done.
  • Mouse to Spotight, click, type "t", the word "terminal" will appear, click on it. Done.

You can even invoke the Terminal without clicking at all:

• Zero clicks:
  • Press CMND (⌘) plus the SPACEBAR simultaneously to open Spotlight, then type "t", the word "terminal" will appear, press return. Done.

For UNIX full functionality, have a ROOT user access name and password available and use it to change user in Terminal.

I know how to launch a terminal window on a Mac! I read your original post as suggesting that an attacker could get root access on an iPhone with two taps on the screen.
