And - she's cracked. Good news for the jailbreak/sideloading community! Locked down devices are, IMHO, more harmful than helpful. Not only do they put up roadblocks to those who want to legitimately access "hidden" features and use their hardware in new and novel ways, they also tend to make the rest of the community feel too safe. That it's locked down hard and can't be broken or infected - when, in fact, it can. A false sense of security, so to speak.
Best to leave things open (perhaps you need just a simple mode and an administrator/root mode) and keep the consumer aware of the risks that may exist rather than living in a world of false security.

effectively taking full control of it and allowing him to install apps not approved by Apple
Wow - being able to install whatever programs you like on a computing device that you purchased and own. What a novel concept.
It's pretty pathetic that Apple now makes this a hacking feat.

Sounds like Teen Hacker doesn’t have enough chores to do around the house.

Any good IT professional can jail break a phone. Step daughter does her’s all the time.

As local state and federal government ramp up their ubiquitous spy networks, hacking will be the best way to take big brother down.
Coward and Piven the government.

Teen hacker, Luca Todesco, has announced he's first to jailbreak an iPhone 7. Of course, the vast majority of malware exploits for iOS exist on apps written which run ONLY on jailbroken iOS devices which is why it is not a good idea to jailbreak your iPhone or iPad. There is a reason why letting just anything and anyone write apps on your mobile devices is a BAD IDEA contrary to what some on this thread are advocating. — PING!
