I’m confused about what you said above: that the recent Secure Element devices prevent them from brute-forcing 6-digit PINs but they’ve bypassed it by exploiting the SEP on older phones.

You don’t mean they can take a recent iPhone and somehow use an older iPhone’s hardware to brute force the more recent phone? Cause that doesn’t make sense to me. Are you just saying that they can’t break it now but maybe they can break it in a few years?
