Remember just a couple of years ago when you could get root access on a locked device without any kind of password [1] Honestly I’m not that convinced iOS is that much better. It’s reputation is so much better than it should be. The number of emergency patches I’ve seen out of them the past few years for many many trivial bugs is amazing. Just this morning I was reading a post from a Chrome engineer talking about how the fundamental architecture of their security is built around a decision that nobody else has thought of as a good time for many years. [2] It’s only going to get worse over time. Then to make matters worse they have managed to get an absolutely horrible relationship with the security community [3] who now seem to have zero interest in helping them meaning that the main external groups left looking at their security are those who are going to put them on the black market. Prior to that researchers were finding so many bugs that the legit market rate for 0days fell well below Android. [4] I ditched my Mac in 2020 and I’m currently waiting for my current iPhone to no longer be up to the task and I’m officially done with Apple after 10 years of nothing but.
