iOS 10 was previewed at WWDC 2016 in San Francisco and now the iOS 10 beta has been downloaded and tested by developers and some of them realized there has been a security flaw. Is this intentionally made by Apple?

iOS 10 Beta Unencrypted Kernel intentionally made?

The latest iOS 10 features have been widely explained and listed but one mistake that seems to be a huge thing, is that the iOS 10 does not have its Kernel encrypted. What does this mean?

Simply put, the unencrypted Kernel will enable Apple users to access the OS and could break the security system - making it easy to jailbreak. The rumors quickly swirl around the mistake that Apple could deliberately make so that they receive more software's bug reports. Could Apple actually create such security flaw?

Apple has not given any confirmation on the encryption flaw but the lack of security system in its software could likely be done by choice because it is unlikely for the tech giant to create such error. Jonathan Zdziarski, security specialist, commented on Apple unencrypted Kernel, by stating that the flaw is like forgetting to place a door on an elevator, TechCrunch reported.
