The article and title mention that his only applies to android. Does Apple have any official stance on this type of behavior? Is this possible with IOS, or does Apple have a tighter grip on its OS updates and other means of installing software? I thought they did, but I'm pretty ignorant of apple at the moment. I was just thinking about switching to an iPhone the other day, so maybe this is a sign.
