I work at a pretty big company, where we are trusted to make a lot of important decisions but as I understand it even small companies have trainings to identify "phishing, clickbait, social engineering, etc". Every relatively big company also pre-approves devices that can connected and access the internal network. Installing software needs to be pre-approved. Even my browser Firefox or Chrome settings are pre-selected to ensure no compromising behavior can occur.
I know from past-experience, friends and colleagues that my current company is not unique. Because all humans (even the smartest sets) are gullible, it just depends how time constrained, sleep deprived or drunk they are.
Additionally, preventative protections on devices are used often even in personal contexts. When I help my mom set up her computer I pre-install everything and she doesn't have the admin password. This is the general recommendation for and by anyone helping someone under-educated about technology and abuse vectors. I've asked if she would rather me teach her and she just prefers using the computer without worry. Neither her, not this situation is unique.
That said, I have previously and do agree, Apple should make it easier to boot non-iOS iPhones. However, Apple should only provide that to the registered adult owner of the device, in person at an Apple store after delivering the caveats that the device will no longer be supported by Apple (regardless of resale) and any warranty is void.
- simion314 6y agoThe issues you describe are happening on computers where by default there is no sandbox, so an evil game or a bad application can do a lot of damage. But in an OS with strong sandbox and a good permission model the fact you add a dude to review your app does not add some extra security, from what I see this review people will check to make sure you follow the GUI /UX guidelines and also make sure you don't give the users information Apple won't like (like you could buy this cheaper from this webpage)
- yazaddaruvala 6y agoI agree, with a strong enough sandbox I am very happy to use sideloading. Fortunately, iOS provides Safari for such a sandbox. According to screen time on iOS, I use Safari 2x more than all my other native applications combined. Including to play games. Especially with "Login with Apple", and "Apple Pay" I find that most websites are as easy to use as native applications.
