Does anyone know more about exactly how Corellium works in this regard? To me, it makes all the difference.

Where does the IPSW come from? Do they pull a new copy off of Apple's servers each time a customer spins up an instance? Does the customer download the IPSW and upload it to their account?

Speaking more broadly, I feel Corellium would have a much stronger case if their product was running on end-user machines. As long as it's running on Corellium's servers, they're "retransmitting" Apple's software, for lack of a better word.
