I'm curious what this will lead to, both security wise and jailbreak hobbyist wise. I saw this overview: https://www.reddit.com/r/jailbreak/comments/1ua58xd/usbliter... which mentions that it won't let an attacker gain full access to iOS on a passworded device without another exploit:

> BPR, or Boot Process Register, was a feature implemented in iOS 14 in order to additionally secure devices from bootROM based attacks. Crucially, it restricts data access when a device is booted directly from DFU mode, which is required by both checkm8 and usbliter8. In iOS 14 and 15, this manifested as the requirement to disable your passcode when jailbreaking A11 devices with checkra1n/palera1n, and is the reason why A11 devices must be first erased if they previously had a passcode before jailbreaking with palera1n. A10 devices were not affected by this as they had a SEP exploit, known as blackbird, which prevented this issue from arising. We do not have a SEP exploit for A11 and newer.
