Right! It would solve so many issues! Put them on an unlisted page of your online store, charge a 50% markup over a normal iPhone, make the boot screen bright red, and do something ugly and obvious with the phone's exterior.

Sure, some crazy people who aren't security researchers will probably buy them too and use them as daily drivers (I'd probably be one of them). So what? I don't understand why Apple feels the need to hold this stuff so close to their chest. Everyone in this scenario knows exactly what they're buying.
