Whether people still jailbreak iPhones and iPads or not, security researchers will keep hunting for vulnerabilities in hardware or software that could be used to develop such tools. The market is highly lucrative for some companies, as there are plenty of parties interested in being able to hack the iPhone, to either install software that’s not available from the App Store or for more nefarious activities, like getting access to someone’s devices.
Apple, which has fought against jailbreaking for years, has a bounty program in place that should help it stay on top of many of these vulnerabilities. But researchers can always just go public with their findings.
