There's no reason they couldn't do something similar/more modern with an iPhone and not have a security risk.
- thirdsun 7y agoWhat you describe sounds like a huge waste of everybody's time. Furthermore data migration on mobile devices mostly happens via iCloud these days - there's really no need to do that in store. It's part of the onboarding process whenever you boot up a new iOS device.
- jdsully 7y agoA waste if you know what your doing. For my Grandpa who’d never figure it out on his own it was a real benefit.
- xvector 7y ago> There's no reason they couldn't do something similar/more modern with an iPhone and not have a security risk. Of course there's a security risk. The security model of both the Macs and the iPhones have significantly improved. The hardware security models make this a difficult engineering task - and a dangerous one.
- jdsully 7y agoThe modern day equivalent would be walking you through backing up to iCloud and restoring from iCloud. It’s not a security risk unless iCloud is one already.
