- pier25 6y agoI seriously doubt it but I guess we'll never know.
- Falell 6y agoJustify "largely", please. I don't think Apple has demonstrated more commitment to "building secure devices" than to "building a tightly walled garden to maximize leverage over developers and users". Edit: grammar
- threeseed 6y agoI don't know of any consumer company that has taken privacy and security more seriously than Apple. They led the way on iOS with Sandboxing, Secure Enclave, forcing HTTPS, on-device ML, on-use permissions model, fingerprinting prevention. And TouchID/FaceID both were popularised on iOS and made simple and reliable enough to be used by tens of millions.
- pier25 6y ago> I don't know of any consumer company that has taken privacy and security more seriously than Apple. True, but that doesn't negate other intentions.
