I do like both security and freedom. How do we get both in this scenario? Have the iOS device ask the user for permission to allow unverified hardware to work

I do like both security and freedom. How do we get both in this scenario? Have the iOS device ask the user for permission to allow unverified hardware to work? Also have a periodic reminder that unverified hardware is installed and the possible consequences?

yeah, let the logged-in user re-pair (pun not entirely intended) their swapped-out components and log it somewhere for future technicians. Apple can also go an extra step to register stolen components to also show that once it is inserted into another devices. ofc there then needs to be some core to pair with but apple will figure it out.

> Have the iOS device ask the user for permission to allow unverified hardware to work? Why is 'asking the user' out of the question? If Apple detects a non-OEM component, then give me a modal when I power the device on asking me if I want to enable it. I certainly don't trust Apple to make that decision for me, everything they've done in the past suggests that they're primarily motivated by increasing profit margins.

    It wouldn't be so distressing if they weren't already valued beyond a trillion dollars.

      You don't become a trillion dollar company selling products people don't love.

        Correct, companies can only get there with subterfuge and good marketing.

        Marketing only works until you get your hands on the product. People love Apple products. No subterfuge required, nor cringeworthy marketing like this: https://9to5mac.com/2022/09/09/samsung-apples-new-iphone-14-joke/ https://9to5mac.com/2022/09/09/samsung-apples-new-iphone-14-...

        Do we want to talk about labor conditions in China and how that contributes to becoming a Trillion Dollar company?
