Apple often refuses to learn, or in fact "forgets" what the industry already knew. Another example: Forcing people to use an E-mail address as their user ID. This is a security and practicality disaster. Not only do people now have multiple Apple IDs (which Apple huffily refuses to consolidate) that split their iCloud and App Store purchases into a mess, but a large proportion of the public undoubtedly thinks that they have to use the same password for this ID as they do for their E-mail account itself. Everyone's E-mail address is on spammers' lists. When you combine that with a list of the top passwords, you get thousands if not millions of compromised accounts. STUPID.
