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!

Rather, with malware existing in the app store, I would contend it is MUCH worse to assume that "jailbreak = pwnd / Appstore = safe". A false sense of security derived from an "Appstore is safe" position is bad.

Rather, educate the consumer about the dangers of installing various software and hardware devices. Much like you educate your children about how to drive. Don't try to shield them, protect them, coddle them until they go and do it themselves and end up in trouble.
