Also iBoot is basically the "BIOS" of the phone. Just enough to get it up and running and then load iOS into memory and kick it off, so it wouldn't have drivers for things like the touch screen or accelerometer for example.

It looks like just the headers, not the actual source code. Also iBoot is basically the "BIOS" of the phone. Just enough to get it up and running and then load iOS into memory and kick it off, so it wouldn't have drivers for things like the touch screen or accelerometer for example.

I'd disagree, this includes source code.

#15> in 'Biggest Leak in History' IDK, the Win2K source leak was pretty big.
As for biggest leak in history, maybe the shadow brokers leak of all those NSA tools? I'm not sure if anything huge resulted from the Win2k leak but I'm not too informed about it.

The author of the quote may have meant biggest leak in Apple's history, which it may well be. As for biggest leak in history, maybe the shadow brokers leak of all those NSA tools? I'm not sure if anything huge resulted from the Win2k leak but I'm not too informed about it.

GitHub seems like an odd place to post this kind of thing. I would have expected an IPFS link, or an I2P torrent, or something like that.
