At least their size. If we assume Apple didn't use a stupid compression
algorithm it should give an idea of the size of uncompressed ones.

Average compression algorithms should reduce the size of a file down to
40-50% (just a guess, somebody should dig this). On the other hand a
complete rewrite of the firmware will unlikely change the size that much.

So, we should dig this to validate/invalidate the hypothesis that
firmware is compressed before being ciphered.

Any volunteer ? :)

That's all folks
