Apple greatest asset is the accessibility to a large market. In return to the loyalty of the clients they do an excellent work in validating apps for isolation, privacy and vetting. Technology is not magic and bugs exist, so Apple chose this methodology for their store.
If companies are able to hijack this process by uploading assets it could be easy to exploit.
We are talking about a personal phone not a remote computer. Imagine if hackers got free reign in the private information of key political figures ?
I choose privacy thank you very much.

- harpratap 6y agoPrivacy and user freedom are not two mutually exclusive things. You can have both at the same time too.
- calcifer 6y agoThis comment doesn't seem to have anything to do with the article, which is about the short launch window for iOS 14 and issues surrounding that. Are you simply reacting to the title?
- lanevorockz 6y agoJust trying to give the context of why Apple is so protective to the App Store and why these lead them to do some unreasonable decisions. I wanted to break the preconception that software is just inherently secure. If anything it's super brittle and the continuous delivery cycle has its downsides.
- Apocryphon 6y agoThat has absolutely nothing to do with why they would depart from their usual reliable release cycle and force developers to scramble to update their apps for iOS 14.
