According to a recently listing job posting, Apple is looking to hire an “iPhone OS Platform Security Manager.” According to that listing;

“The team is responsible for secure booting and installation of the OS, partitioning and hardening of security domains within the OS, cryptographic services, and risk analysis of security threats. The team is made up of a variety of security experts with backgrounds in system security and reverse engineering.”

So, sure the title of this post may have been exaggerated a little bit. But that said, it is also a possibility. Ultimately, the more Apple is able to secure the OS the harder it will be for the rest of us to retain our jailbreaks and unlocks. Thankfully, we already have a few good people on our side including Geohot and the Dev Team.

And with that the cat and mouse game continues. Thankfully though, the side of those wanting to jailbreak and unlock are currently in the lead.
