Your comment is not accurate.



I cannot speak with authority on the topic and based my statement on the statements of several YouTube tech news Channels. It's entirely possible that they're missinformed and it wouldn't be for the first time.

I however cannot find anything that says differently from apple or a source showing how non signed systems can be booted on this chip.

The only thing I could find was apples statement that your system is even more secure now because non signed code won't be run.

Do you have any resources I can read so we can clear up this misunderstanding?

Or are you referencing my auto-correct error which replaced cant with can? If that is the case... I'm sorry for that but it's too late to fix and my intent is (I think) quiet clear considering I said that they're both locked and this lock is without an off switch.


From recovery OS you can personalize any blob. The local SEP will sign it for you and iBoot will happily load and jump to it.

That blob may be a Darwin kernel or it may be something else.
