Apple is facing an unprecedented problem at the moment after a very serious problem was discovered in the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and other products that it sells worldwide at the moment.
Apple would have finally broken the secure enclave where people's extremely important personal data is stored, and everything would have been done by a group of Chinese researchers, who have also launched jailbreak solutions in the past.
This vulnerability discovered in Apple's secure enclave would allow hackers to gain access to the data stored in it, i.e. passwords, fingerprint information, confirmation keys for mobile payments made with Apple Pay.
The Team Pangu has found an "unpatchable" vulnerability on the Secure Enclave Processor (SEP) chip in iPhones. https://t.co/9oJYu3k8M4

Apple has not yet confirmed the problem, and it is possible that it will not do it either, but it is good to know that that secure enclave is not quite as safe as the Apple company wants us to believe at the moment.
Regarding the affected products, we are talking about:
- iPhone 5s and later versions
- iPad (gen 5) and later versions
- iPad Air (gen 1) and later versions
- iPad mini 2 and later versions
- iPad Pro
- Mac with T1 or T2 chip
- Apple TV HD (gen 4) and later versions
- Apple Watch Series 1 and later versions
- HomePod
