According to information from Apple, this source code leaked nothing to worry about security. That's the code that has been in use since iOS 9 and won't worry if you update your device regularly. But many people are still concerned, if a part of iBoot is still used for iOS 11 and hackers can take advantage of this leaked source to find security holes if any.

Apple has further confirmed that its products have multiple layers of hardware and software protection, not just depending on the secret of the source code.

According to data from Apple, 93% of its devices use iOS 10 and iOS 11, the remaining 7% are iOS 9 and older versions combined.
