A phishing dialog could fake the drawer. Apps can and do regularly use the full screen which is something web pages don't do and which will require extra user confirmation for precisely this reason.
Denying apps full screen access is very detrimental to the overall UX so that's not going to happen.
The other solution is to have apple never prompt for that password aside of during the initial setup process after installing an update.
Then you could at least give the advice to never enter your Apple ID-Password anywhere unless you've just re-installed the OS.
- orbitur 9y agoThere are other visual solutions: show the app switcher, or go to the home screen and return when the modal is dismissed. I agree apps can fake some things, but it's not an unsolvable problem.
- Sir_Cmpwn 9y agoShow the app switcher is a good idea. It could make sense visually and would have information that the phishing app couldn't get (the surfaces of other apps).
