The reverse engineering is a monumental effort, this Sisyphean task of trying to keep up with never-ending changes to the hardware. Meanwhile, the documentation is just sitting there in Cupertino.

I really hope this ends up biting Apple in the ass instead of protecting whatever market share they are guarding here.
