The platform security system at every level, from boot chain to hardware domains to OS security, evolved more in the last 10 years than any previous platform had in 20 years prior.&lt;p&gt;That doesn&amp;#x27;t make an iPhone 7 impregnable, but it should inform any analysis you do of stories about phones being tampered with &amp;quot;starting in 2008&amp;quot;; that&amp;#x27;s a little like talking about SMTP server security &amp;quot;starting in 1993&amp;quot;.</text></comment>
