To its credit, apple does a fairly decent job of staying ahead of the unlocking tech, but some older hardware and os are easily cracked.

It is both. But graphene is the way.
I was reading some of the Graphene forum discussion the other day. Basicaly, grapheme is the only os on any hardware that concerns LEO and courts.
Reading about the one country where when graphene is found on a phone they automatically declare it “uncontrolled” and a “criminal tool”.
