Security, privacy, and battery life sell phones. Better PWA and WebRTC would cost them money because those modern Web technologies compete with the App Store.
- simondotau 5y ago> Security, privacy, and battery life sell phones. Because that's what people want.
- Dah00n 5y agoNo they want Security, privacy, and battery life. Yes, I know there's no difference to the quote (copy&paste). The difference is that what Apple says is security and privacy is often fluff and done for PR and isn't actually what people want when the say they want security and privacy. Look no further than what Apple call end-to-end encryption in iMessage. It is on par with VW saying their diesel engines had such and such emission when in reality they both have huge and multiple asterisks.
- simondotau 5y ago> The difference is that what Apple says is security and privacy is often fluff In the context of Apple's Safari engineering priorities, which is the context of this discussion, Apple has delivered real security, privacy and battery life wins. This isn't even disputed by Apple's detractors.
