iPad Pro supports ethernet and general USB devices.
And allowing apps to sniff network traffic defeats the entire security model of the device which many of us like.
I want more privacy and security in my devices not less.
- lupinglade 5y agoSniffing network traffic would not defeat anything, provided you are prompted about the necessary permissions.
- chongli 5y agoThe problem with those permission prompts is that many users blindly accept them. If a “sniff all network traffic” permission were allowed, it would take all of one day before Facebook et al release an update with it and start siphoning millions of users network traffic. Apple does not want this.
- skohan 5y agoApple would probably also prefer it if I had to use an in-app purchase to pay my rent, but luckily we live in a nation of laws, and Apple doesn't get to decide everything based on unilateral self-interest.
- skohan 5y agoHow does it defeat your security if other people want to look at network traffic on the device they purchased?
