Android Central has got an affirmation from Google stating that the Verify App indeed protects and blocks apps along with the QuadRooter....

Take the Mi 3 and Mi 4 for instance – both packed in some very good hardware (excellent processors, lots of RAM, very good cameras) and yet together cost less than most Android flagships (for the record, their combined cost is Rs 33,998!...

Treat this as a mere speculation. A new group of hackers called gull1b0ard claim to have found an exploit which will jailbreak iPhone 3GS with new bootrom and it will be untethered.
