The MacDirtyCow bug, also known as CVE-2022-46689, has opened Pandora’s box for Apple on iOS & iPadOS 15.x-16.1.2 because it allows people to make system customizations on their non-jailbroken iPhones and iPads that they technically shouldn’t be allowed to make.

Hardware-based bootrom exploits like limera1n and checkm8 can't be patched by Apple via software updates and are infrequent occurrences that we’d consider ourselves lucky to witness once every several years.
