    Is this as true as it was 5 to 10 years ago?

    I feel like I’ve seen TestFlight used a fair amount lately.

    I have no clue what the jailbreak community is like anymore. I’ve heard Cydia isn’t really a thing with newer versions of iOS so I have no idea how lockdown iPhones are anymore.

      I’m not sure, but even with jailbreaking, iOS isn’t certified UNIX. It doesn’t have a command line shell built-in that you can access easily like macOS.

      So I really meant “locked down” in the sense that you’re not getting easy access to command line interface that can access system files without jailbreaking/rooting first.

      I do think jailbreaking and rooting is easier than it used to be, but I don’t mess with iOS devices much.
