    I wonder how many other workarounds for iOS are out there in the wild that Apple doesn't know about.

    While NSO Group has been investigated over the allegations and faces considerable pressure to quit, it seems that spyware-based surveillance could be around for quite a while. In January, it was revealed the Israeli police used Pegasus to perform warrant-less surveillance, and at one point, the FBI reportedly considered using the spyware.

    Pegasus and its cousins will never be over. The genie is out of the bottle. 
    I imagine these companies keep looking for new backdoors even after a great one is found so that they can have another solution in case one is discovered.

    This is why Apple should worry more about fixing and empowering security on its OS and less of rolling out a new release every single year, IMHO.

    I recall something about Jobs sayng that the optimal gap between two new releases should be of 18 months.
