Of notable curiosity not mentioned by VICE, but Apple actually modified their A12, A13, and A14 (I believe) CPUs while still in production to have a new second-generation Secure Enclave embedded within them sometime around Fall 2020. We don't know the full extent of the changes, but it sounds like the 2nd-generation enclave comes with much stronger hardware-based rate limiting on PIN code guessing through a "mailbox" system.
For me, that means I have my eyes all on whether an iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, or (new) iPhone SE 2nd Gen get hacked. Right now the highest confirmed GrayKey hack is an iPhone 11, which wouldn't have the change. We'll see whether Apple got them this time.
