Anybody get a bitter sweet feeling when ever these reported and fixed security exploits announcements happen?
It's good that users aren't going to risk getting hacked by such vulnerabilities, but its bad that users can no longer uses these exploits to gain administrative control over their property.
- snazz 6y agoApple isn't going to force you to update your device, so you can stay on an older version if you want jailbreaks.
- MrStonedOne 6y agousers buying new devices that automatically update on activation aren't going to have that choice.
- nahkoots 6y agoUsers that care about having control over their devices shouldn't be buying Apple hardware in the first place. Not that I support Apple's anti-consumer practices, but if you buy one of their products, you have to know what you're getting yourself into.
- ValentineC 6y agoApple doesn't allow downgrading (and it's gotten even harder with Touch/Face ID not being downgradable with SHSH blobs), so people accidentally update, or get their hardware replaced in a repair, are SOL.
- beagle3 6y agoIf you want a phone that you have control over, don't buy one from Apple... At this point in time, choices are mostly limited to Librem and PinePhone.
- bamboozled 6y agoFairPhone too?
- userbinator 6y agoNevermind right to repair, how about right to own... The fact that you're even being downvoted for this shows just how far the authoritarian control-freaks have taken over and brainwashed everyone with paranoia to jump right into their jail.
- lern_too_spel 6y agoThe users of these devices know they are serfs in the Apple ecosystem. People who want devices they can control buy other devices.
