Thankfully iOS is different. Wouldn't be so secure if it worked like Windows and Android.
But you knew that.
Hi Tyrone,
Happy New Year!
Thank you for understanding that the point of these threads on these Apple newsgroups are to better understand the truth, outside of Apple propaganda.
To put it bluntly, the (rather brilliant) Apple propaganda is that Apple products, particularly iOS, are harder to use because they're "more safe".
That is, Apple's (rather brilliant) propaganda is the reason every
interaction outside of the Apple ecosystem is handcuffed, is, for "safety".
Yet, there is no safety.
So, as we proved in exquisite detail in a variety of recent threads, there
is no mobile device that is less secure than Apple iOS mobile devices are.
In most measures, iOS security is atrocious, and yet, in other measures
Android security is atrocious - but in the end, they're about the same.
Given nobody who is a security professional would ever claim iOS is "more safe", then my assessment is you gave away everything... for nothing.
Not only did you give away interoperability for "safety" that you never
got, but you gave away the ability to do zillions of useful functionality
that all other platforms easily do, for that "safety" that you never got.
You gave away everything...
For nothing.
But when you realize WHY you gave away everything and got nothing in
return, then you realize WHY Apple "claims" they locked up iOS "for
safety".
Q: Does anyone on this ng know why Apple "claims" they locked up iOS
"for safety" and yet, Apple has never actually delivered that safety?
A: ?
HINT in the references in the sig.
