What good is the “right to repair” a phone that is insecure?
- saurik 4y agoUsing the term "secure" to describe the property "the supposed-owner of the device is disallowed from having any control over the software running on the device" is a perversion of the term; I would prefer the locks on my house be secure in a way that prevents people I don't want to enter my house from getting inside, not in a way that prevents me from daring to using unauthorized furniture or having the gall to replace the door on one of my cabinets... Apple's version of the word "security" seems to often be more about helping developers implement DRM than about helping the user know their data is safe or private.
