Then why can’t I run whatever I want on my phone? The logic here makes zero sense. A computer is a computer whether it fits in your pocket or sits on a desk.

- fingerlocks 5y ago> Then why can’t I run whatever I want on my phone? You can, legally. You have that right. You can legally jailbreak a supported iPhone in 10 minutes and sideload all day or lldb attach to whatever you want. Nobody will stop you. But Apple doesn't want to support an open platform. That's their right. They don't want it to part of their ecosystem, their brand, or provide the avalanche of non-negligible support costs. The distinction here is important and rarely addressed in these discussion.
- folkrav 5y ago> Nobody will stop you. I mean, Apple blocked countless jailbreaks as of today. It's AFAIK also against their ToS, therefore means they legally try to make it so you don't jailbreak. Can you _really_? Sounds more like a gray area they simply cannot control, but they're definitely trying their hardest to do so...
