Are iphones cracked? There's a ton of unclaimed money available to anyone that can open them.
Ever look at the list of uncracked videogames and how long the top ones have lasted?

The article says there might be a flaw, and it would be a huge deal. It does not state those phones are broken. It does not extract keys, which would be needed in the case of Sony cameras to sign fake pictures.
Here's a later followup article from Elcomsoft, one of the best security firms around [1]. The key quote: "checkm8 does not affect the Secure Enclave."
So no, they did not extract keys needed that would be needed to sign new phots for the Sony phone.
And later iPhones have removed this as a vector. It's unlikely Sony made the same mistakes quite old iPhones did, since they have the ability to learn from past security issues.

I’d like to believe it’s unlikely Sony made the same mistakes but the old Amazon saying applies — “There’s no compression algorithm for experience”. One hopes that Sony learned from PS3, but I’d find it unlikely an external observer of Apple will, through observation, operate as competently as Apple.

Why would you compare all of Apple to the subset of Sony that is cameras? That's a dishonest comparison, especially if you're going to complain about apples to oranges comparisons. Why not Apple camera revenue to Sony camera revenue?
And both have very little to do with the cost to make a secure chip, which either can easily afford if desired. Apple's not spending a significant amount of their budget on the security components, after all, are they?
Certainly Sony makes enough revenue and spends enough on R&D to develop state of the art technology, including security hardware.

You really think they learned nothing since the PS3?
