I don't think you've been following the iOS7 updates closely.

If you ever manage to do a DFU, you won't be able to restore. And if you ever manage to restore and jailbreak, you'll never be able to connect to iTunes, use the AppStore, or sync with Apple again. Which means, the phone is either worthless or at least seriously crippled.

I have jailbroken many an iPhone, so I have a bit of an idea. Apple's security is really quite strong. If you are trying to equate hacking to magic, I don't think you understand it.

> Apple's security is really quite strong. Funny. Every single one of my friends in the IT security business strongly disagrees with this statement.

Ok, the iPhone device security is really quite strong. As for whatever else Apple does, it's not relevant to this discussion.
