That's what I meant.
> Apple can effectively silently run whatever code they want on most iPhones and iPads.
You may feel that this is a powerful argument, but I'm completely unimpressed by it when anyone can easily go into Settings and turn off automatic updates. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm not a fan of automatic updates, especially as the default setting, but that's not because I think Apple is going to send down some secretly evil update. Rather, it's just because updates can break stuff that the user relies on, which is no secret.
- lrvick 3y agoSo the defense you suggest, is for everyone to never accept updates to any software again? Are you serious?
- lapcat 3y agoI'm not suggesting any "defense", because I'm not suggesting any attack. You're the one suggesting an attack. I'm worried about Apple making the OS crappier, but I'm not worried about Apple attacking me, or anyone else for that matter. Once again, you said, "Apple can remotely execute any code they want on your phone at any time", which is what I replied to. Until you're willing to admit that you misspoke, we're done here.
