IOS 10 won’t collect your personal data without permission

According to the publication, Apple has responded to the question why the iOS 10 beta kernel was left unencrypted. Though the kernel in iOS 10 manages your iPhone’s security and dictates what apps can and cannot do on your device, opening it up for anyone to take a look at-like enthusiasts and security researchers-will, paradoxically, increase device security.

While this doesn’t really compromise the security of iOS 10, there are both pros and cons to making the operating system’s kernel available for inspection.

TaiG, a well-known, highly reputable jailbreaking tool developer, said the next jailbreaking tool would be released shortly after Apple releases its final version to iOS 9.3.2, which is now in the BETA stage.

As usual, Apple allowed used to download a preview version of the new iOS 10 before its official release in September. MIT Technology Review highlighted that the distribution of the unencrypted code is a debut for the tech giant, which used to guard its operating system core fiercely in the past. It has the role to enforce security and to control how programs can use a device’s hardware. An iOS security expert said that leaving the kernel open would have been an incredibly glaring oversight. Apple’s typical secretive behavior led to speculation that the company had accidentally overlooked the encryption of the kernel – a seemingly routine security fix for the OS. Developers and experts alike were baffled at Apple’s decision to leave the kernel unencrypted for iOS 10, as the company has always been adamant to encrypt it and keep the “insides” of the iOS away from the preying eyes and hands of developers. If flaws are revealed, they can be quickly patched.

Apple will require iOS 10 owners to opt in to the new AI technology created to use advanced and discreet data collection techniques to improve contextual services like Siri.
