Apple is inviting researchers to find security flaws in a ‘special’ iPhone

Apple is inviting security researchers to apply for its iPhone Security Research Device Program (SRDP). It is a part of Apple’s bug bounty program where security researchers are awarded cash for finding security flaws in the iPhone. On its support page, Apple revealed that security researchers can apply for the 2024 iPhone SRDP and “work with our security teams to help protect users, and qualify for Apple Security Bounty rewards.”

The support page also states that in the last four years SRDP researchers have discovered 130 high impact, security-critical vulnerabilities and “their insights have helped us implement novel mitigations to protect our platforms.”
