I'm surprised the price for the unlimited mode is $30,000. I would think they would want to price that at more like $100,000.

I was a little surprised at that, too, but more so, doesn’t an offline mode make it potentially reverse-engineerable?

Seems like this won't last long, as Apple could just spend the $30,000 to get it for themselves and then figure out what vulnerability it's exploiting.
