I think that saying that Apple is especially bad at security would be wrong. But apple claiming they are the only ones who can protect users might be going a bit far....
- bredren 6y agoDoes Apple make this claim?
- reaperducer 6y agoNo. The only people who make this claim are Apple critics who put words in Apple's mouth to justify whatever clickbait blog post they're putting out this week to pad their resumes and harvest echo chamber thumbs. But as we know from politics, if you tell a lie enough times it becomes the truth.
- logicOnly 6y ago"I'm a Mac And I'm a P----Error"-Apple ad year 200x And as you mentioned, like politics, you can deny it and fanatics will believe you..
- reaperducer 6y agoApple making fun of BSOD is not what the parent comment posited. Let me recap for you: "the only ones who can protect users"
- kalleboo 6y agoThose ads aired so long ago that they referred to Windows Vista, they hardly seem relevant

- JKCalhoun 6y agoIn the article you linked to, I didn't see Apple claiming they alone can protect user's privacy. I read instead that Apple suggested all companies should strive to protect their user's privacy.

- JKCalhoun 6y agoNot seeing Apple claiming only they can protect user's privacy. Instead the article quotes Tim Cook trying to pressure the governments t recognize privacy as a fundamental human right.
- heavyset_go 6y ago> Not seeing Apple claiming only they can protect user's privacy You would if you had watched the commercial.
- JKCalhoun 6y agoI watched the video, still didn't seen any claims that only Apple can protect a user's privacy. You must be reading between the lines where I am not.
- logicOnly 6y agoYes, this was their TV Advertising for a decade. I don't watch TV much, but they seemed to have pivoted to the word "privacy"
- quelsolaar 6y agoWell they claim that no one else can run a AppStore on iOS, because if someone else did it it would be a big security vulnerability.
- heavyset_go 6y ago> I think that saying that Apple is especially bad at security would be wrong. iOS vulnerabilities cost less than Android vulnerabilities because there are just so many iOS exploits on the market.
