ios is by far the most secure environment accessible to the vast majority of people.
My brother owns 4 restaurants. Five years ago, he almost had several hundred thousand dollars stolen from his business bank account because he got spyware installed on his laptop. The solution was buy a separate computer just for banking.
Now, the solution available to nearly everyone is buy an ios device, and never access your bank, investment, or credit card accounts through anything else. The locked down app store where users are entirely unable to install non-validated software is perfect for at least 99.9% of users.
And I know people here are upset you can't run any software you want. That does suck! But we've tried letting users do that for going on 40 years now, and it's been an unmitigated security disaster.
- LeoPanthera 10y agoYou actually can run any software you want on iOS - you just have to compile it yourself with XCode and sideload it. And this is a sufficiently high barrier to entry that it serves to protect the clueless.
