Apple opens up hacker-friendly iPhone to researchers at Black Hat

Apple is now embracing hackers by offering special iPhones specifically for security researchers.

Apple's head of security, Ivan Krstic, unveiled the new program at Black Hat, a cybersecurity conference in Las Vegas.

They're specifically coded for developers who want to poke around iOS and Apple's hardware to find security flaws.

"This is an unprecedented fully Apple supported iOS security research platform," Krstic said at the conference.

The devices will come with advanced debug capabilities, Krstic added.

Companies often open up to hackers, with bug bounty programs, finding that outside security researchers can find vulnerabilities that their internal security teams might've missed.
