Talking iOS iBoot Source code leak - Probably termed as the biggest leak in the history
I am sure most of you might have seen this.

https://github.com/h1x0rz3r0/iBoot

It is the iBoot source code from Apple.

Think of it like the bios on which loads the Operating system. This piece of code loads the Apple signed iOS / Kernel after the power on operation on the older iPhones, but portions of it might still be used in the recent versions of iOS too.

Recently, they have the introduced secure enclave chip/processor which does most of this code's functionalities. This probably could be a good read to get to know some iOS / iBoot internals!
