That’s not the same thing at all lol. And iPhone doesn’t give apps unrestricted screen access.

  You don't see it as the same because you have different expectations/needs. I don't see Apple's control of the app store as being a value-add for me, so to me that is user-hostile. Meanwhile I do think it's important that apps can't arbitrarily look at my screen contents.

    > I don't see Apple's control of the app store as being a value-add for me, so to me that is user-hostile. Sure, I think the exact opposite is the case. Fortunately so far Apple has been on my side here. When that changes, I'll have to reevaluate the utility of the iPhone. > Meanwhile I do think it's important that apps can't arbitrarily look at my screen contents Hmm. Do you have any resources I could read to understand how iOS apps are able to arbitrarily read my screen contents? Thanks.
