Reminds me of a classic https://xkcd.com/538/.

For the vast majority of users the most realistic threat is simply being ordered to unlock their phone under the threat of force (from a criminal, a cop, a CBP agent, etc). This is way, way more likely than being attacked through an unknown JIT compiler vulnerability.

What would be really helpful is Apple implementing a way to have multiple iPhone profiles with plausible deniability (a la VeraCrypt) or some sort of compartmentalization (a la 1Password travel mode).

Of course that would mean people can start sharing their phones instead of buying one per person from Apple, so I'm not holding my breath.
