Apple and Corellium Agree on Settlement to Bring Lawsuit to an End

Have to question some of the dislikes, as they appear to be a dislike multiple times?
Apple won't give you a discount you know.

This made me almost spit out my coffee in laughter and enjoyment - LOL

I don't think Apple brought Corellium.

Where do you think Apple was bringing them to? 🤔

Apple last year launched a program that would give security researchers access to specially configured iPhones for researching security vulnerabilities and exploits.

Wouldn’t you want a phone NOT specially configured for research? I mean don’t you want a device to be identical to real world use?

Sounds like the terms of the settlement are being kept confidential and are not being released to the public. It sounds like Apple may have purchased Corellium.

Can't really tell who won the settlement.

One less lawsuit Apple has to worry about

No, Corellium beat Apple and will be buying Apple.

Yes, but the SRD program reads that they give shell access, which if there are no other changes, is a huge help.

But having said that, it likely isn't as cheap as a standard phone despite being identical, and Apple have the worst reputation of not paying out bounties, so I don't know what kind of uptake it will have in the security scene, when they eventually ship them we will see.

Nice to see something not go 100% the way of Apple for a change.

The behemoth has become way too big here.

What didn't go the way of Apple? Be specific.

(as a side note: Apple has become big because they produce products that people buy in droves)
