a) iOS customers pay extra for the service protections of easy subscription management and keeping payment information out of shoddy payment platforms. Registered charities can accept Apple Pay to avoid the cut. b) The Keyboard API is designed to be tiny and blocks broadcasting keystrokes. It is like it was not designed to be a general computing device. c) Again not intended as a general purpose device. I recall early on they added hardware to the camera to prevent it from detecting out of sight spectrum to prevent it from being used to find heat leaks and the like. d) Android is the only platform where other people can secretly control your device. e) Apple gives lots of hoots. They are clearly trying to craft a specific experience. f) True of most anything with a chip. Cars, game machines, smart TVs all have anti-tampering tech even without your banking data on them. g) Web servers are often compromised so bad for security. Computers never made good WiFi bridges. Plenty of music apps. I see point of sale iPads all over the place. h) yes. The idea of billions of devices out there with constantly running background Location/Bluetooth sniffers reporting to ad-tech is horrifying to me. It would make the AirTags stalking seem like a joke if every phone secretly tracked every Bluetooth.
