Then feel free to not install apps from different stores?
And let everyone else choose to use those other stores, on their own phone, if they choose to do so.
- rfd4sgmk8u 6y agoIt's not this simple, and security isn't about an individuals choice. It is about ecosystem security. The platform is considered secure because folks can't (easily) install malware from sketchy app stores. With an iphone talking to another iphone, one can be more confident that the other parties device is not compromised by garden variety trojanized apps, etc.
- detaro 6y agoI thought the platform was considered secure because Apple is good at making a secure OS with working sandboxes. Their app moderation is bad enough that I would not want to rely on app store policy alone.

And you should be free to keep the "don't jailbreak my phone" option on, and other people, who know the risks, should be free to switch that off. Put a scary warning on it if you like. Problem solved. Everyone gets what they want.
