I'd still like a good explanation why I can't do what I want with my phone.
You don't want do to that? Good, don't. Make it so that I can, if I have to tick a box somewhere hidden in Apple's labyrinthine and undiscoverable Settings app.
Of course, we already know the answer why I can't do what I want with my phone, because it isn't my phone, is it, Apple continues to think of it as theirs and they simply grudgingly rent it to you for awhile all the while treating you the user as the enemy.
- andrekandre 6y ago> I can't do what I want with my phone. well, you kind of can, you just need a mac and xcode ^^;
- zepto 6y agoYou can do what you want with your phone. You have a legal right to jailbreak it and hack on it in any way you like.
- zakki 6y agoJailbreak is not consumer friendly. Which is not Apple way, is it?
- zepto 6y agoThat’s irrelevant - the point is that RonanTheGrey can actually do whatever they want with the phone they own. They have the legal right.
- RonanTheGrey 6y agoOk. I want to run iSh by installing it from the developer's signed build. That's what I want to do. Can I do that?
- zepto 6y agoYes - jailbreak the phone.
- RonanTheGrey 6y agoI was going to make a reddit-like crack about "please sir can I have some more gruel" but dang asked me to keep it clean so I'll respond a bit more high brow by mentioning that I think you don't realize how that's not actually a solution.
- zepto 6y agoI do realize it doesn’t give you what you want - which is an iPhone customized to your desires and Apple mandated to provide customer service and support for those customizations. But it does resolve the question of what you have a right to do with your phone, which is in fact anything you like.
- lern_too_spel 6y agoThat relies on the device being so insecure that it has a rootable vulnerability, which is even worse.
- zepto 6y agoSo what? It’s your right to do it. Nobody can legitimately claim they aren’t allowed to do what they want with their phone. It’s simply not true. It’s obviously true that many people wish Apple designed their software differently. Those people are free and not to buy things they don’t like the design of. Not one person on this thread has explained how they were forced to buy an iPhone.
- lern_too_spel 6y agoThe thread is about whether an iPhone is your phone or Apple's. If Apple has made the device they way they wanted and the way the user should want (secure), it is Apple's device. If they failed and made an insecure device, it is yours. Whether people can buy other phones is irrelevant to the question of whose phone an iPhone is. I fully agree that people should buy other phones.
- zepto 6y agoThe phone is yours and you can do what you like with once you have bought it. That is not in question.
- lern_too_spel 6y agoThe whole point of this thread is that you cannot unless it has a rootable vulnerability.
- zepto 6y agoYou man not be able to make it into a toaster oven either. What you can and can’t do with it depends on your capabilities. Apple sold it to you as it is. It’s up to you to decide what is possible.
- cblconfederate 6y agothen why is apple breaking jailbreaks with every new phone?
- zepto 6y agoJailbreaks rely on security vulnerabilities which they want to fix.
