No they weren’t. It’s not like as if Apple launched iOS 1.0 and said, “that’s it gang, we’re finished!” They were fully intent on continuing to develop it, often implementing things they were first with from macOS.
Apple does things very methodically and given how problems can have a huge impact on a product representing both what drives a multi-trillion company as well as what depends on carrier service providers from around the world, it’s often that jailbreak developers got ahead of what Apple was doing or planning.
Copy & Paste, was first with a jailbreak, but absolutely Apple was going to do this. Video recording, same, and worth noting the jailbreak version sucked. Folders, widgets, control panel… all something Apple had done with macOS long before iOS and were inevitable things.
Don’t get me wrong, the jailbreak community back in the day was awesome and provided all kinds of features before Apple got around to introducing them. While many of these were novel and innovative, I wouldn’t say the majority didn’t have prior art on macOS, let alone to say that “All major iOS features were stolen from jailbreak tweaks”.
Also worth noting is that the reason why there was jailbreaking was due to flaws in iOS which potentially posed security risks and Apple patching those is a good thing.
Apple need to stop making jailbreaking so hard so they can steal ideas from the tweaks. All major ios features were stolen jailbroken tweaks.
