Remember the old Mac commercials that said Apple/Mac couldn't be hacked? You basically dared these jerks.

Often times these security updates are patches to stop jailbreaking. Not so sure about this one. I'm on iOS 16 beta.

Yeah that was never true. NOTHING is unhackable.

Kinda like the "Titanic" wasn't unsinkable.

Apple's statement was based on them not having a large footprint. Not enough users for hackers to worry about trying it. Now, Apple has enough customers for it to be worth their while.

I heard an ad on the radio yesterday for a local boat dealer/manufacturer that builds pontoon boats that are "virtually unsinkable." I get the wordplay but I still cringed.

Every time I hear that, I think of that scene in the first "Naked Gun" where Ricardo Montalban tells Leslie Nielsen his pen is "unbreakable, impervious to everything but water" - and he breaks the pen and it lands in the fish tank with a priceless fish and kills him.
