Cloud gaming exists on iOS as well. And is just as insignificant there as it is on other platforms.
And you are being disingenuous by deliberately ignoring the manual checks that Apple's review team does to prevent malicious apps from being disseminated. I work for a bank and my Mac laptop has 6 apps pre-installed designed purely to prevent malware/viruses. The same will unquestionably be needed on iOS for those using it for sensitive tasks.
- keleftheriou 5y agoMacs offer the option to run apps without any sandboxing whatsoever – meaning an app can run totally unrestricted and read, modify, or delete any file of any other app, including most system files. We’re not asking for that on iOS. So there’s no reason to think you’ll ever need "6 apps pre-installed designed purely to prevent malware/viruses” on your phone.
- zepto 5y agoYou seem to be engaging in magical thinking by imagining that a sandbox can prevent all malware. No serious security researcher would support this claim.
- Apocryphon 5y agoiOS provides many more security protections beyond sandboxing.
- zepto 5y agoSo what? It’s clearly not enough on its own.
- Apocryphon 5y agoWhen has it been not clearly enough?
- zepto 5y agoAre you suggesting that iOS provides perfect security? If you think that, I am not going to bother to do the googling for you.
- Apocryphon 5y agoIt provides far better security than Apple critics believe. Apple haters do not trust the company’s quality of engineering.
- zepto 5y agoSo you avoided the question. Are you suggesting that iOS provides perfect security?
- Apocryphon 5y agoFar closer to perfect security than anti-Apple skeptics such as yourself would claim.
- zepto 5y agoHow many security flaws are there, and when do you anticipate that they will all be eliminated? If you can’t answer these questions, then you can’t make any claim about it being close to perfect.
- Apocryphon 5y agoHow many of those security flaws are mitigated by App Store curation, and how many of those flaws are already being let through? At this point we are both asking each other to prove negatives now, as productive as that is. I think we can both agree to disagree.
