And we now go live to Apple v Corellium, where the iTitan is still lobbing copyright fireballs at the virtual iPhone upstart
2020-01-03 01:02

The case - essentially a US copyright infringement claim - centers on Apple's allegations that Corellium illegally copied the mobile operating system, and unlawfully made derivative versions by modifying the software to run on Corellium's iPhone hypervisor. While Corellium argued that Apple is trying to crack down on who can rifle through iOS for bugs and exploitable flaws, and snuff out jailbreaking efforts, the iGiant's latest paperwork homes in on its central allegations that Corellium is trying to make a fast buck by ripping off iOS and its bundled apps and user interface - technology that Apple has not licensed to Corellium.
