Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean it isn't true.
Honestly, I don't think blocking paying customers from installing applications and using root permissions effectively is a sound business strategy for the desktop / laptop / OS X market. A macbook pro is fundamentally different from an iphone.
- gokhan 16y agoWhat is the difference that making an iPhone owner unable to install applications? Or why is it allowed on a MacBook?
- extension 16y agoPeople expect to have root access to their computers. That has always been the standard and Apple can't change it. People don't generally expect to have root access to their phones. Apple is largely responsible for establishing that standard.
- darren_ 16y agoCarrier-locked phones with appstores were the standard long before iPhones came out. See: crappy verizon flip-phones with the BREW store. Fair enough that people might not remember them so well though, because there was literally nothing worth buying on any of them.
