Every line in the boot path is code we wrote. There is zero Apple code between power-on and Linux. The bootloader is ours, top to bottom. To our knowledge, no one has done this on an A13 device before.

Yea, I believe it comes from the EU but Apple is as always doing the least they have to do, to stay legal. And I even think that the VERIFIED think is still a thing with it technically working but made artificially worse with warnings and what not.
