I am not trying to bash iOS here, but it is very clear that security in iOS comes at the cost of freedom and not being able to do a lot of things. For example, you can only install apps through the App Store. You cannot mount USB drives and so on.
Security is always a tradeoff.

I see Android as akin to the situation in The Walking Dead that led to them living in a literal prison, so yes. I've always avoided Mac when possible, but in the mobile space I'd rather use those devices less, and less freely, but more securely. I'll explore my options on my desktop or laptop.
- ubernostrum 10y agoOne person's prison is another person's comfortable home. Many people do not perceive iOS as a prison, and would take issue with your choice of words to describe it as such. If you feel that it is, then of course there are alternatives available. You just also know what you're giving up and the risks you're taking. (and, of course, Android is not so nice either without the magic non-Free bits from Google...)
