- wmichelin 11y agoIf they had given root access, the following things here would be up to the community to create. I don't know why you listed all of these things as if Apple owes them to us.
- venomsnake 11y agoBecause they do. Otherwise you don't own your device, you just rent it. And all of these are fundamental rights of owenership in the digital era.

In fact a strong enough emphasis on privacy leads you to restricting the ability of the user to undermine their own security. You dislike apple's methods, which is fine, but it doesn't make them hypocritical.
- venomsnake 11y agoYou can't have privacy without control. It is impossible. You cannot hide from your sysadmin - that is axiom.
- Dylan16807 11y agoUnless you have a staff of experts, you're not going to be able to secure the device yourself. So Apple has to be involved in almost everyone's security whether you like it or not. Putting the user in charge is good for freedom, but it takes you from one failure point to two failure points.
