Protections against malware are the job of the operating system not an app store.
And I don't understand the point about ads. The vast majority of apps currently available on the app store is already plastered with ads?
- Tagbert 3y agoThe App Store ads are trivial and not the concern. I’m more concerned about the tracking that apps will be able to do when Apple cannot block them from installing. Hello FaceBook++
- spullara 3y agoEvery app asking for every possible access to your stuff no matter if it needs it or not is currently protected against by the app store, not the OS.
- theshrike79 3y agoWhat apps are you using? Not a single one on my iPhone has any ads.
- fragmede 3y agoApp Store is the biggest offender, personally. At the top of every query is an ad.
- theshrike79 3y agoWe have a very different definition of "Ad" then. I just opened my App Store and only saw one ad - and that was for a game I already have installed. Do you consider the new content suggestions on ATV+, Netflix, Prime video etc. as "Ads" too?
- fragmede 3y agoIf you search for something in the app store, the first result literally says "Ad" by the first result, so it seems Apple shares my definition. I don't know what your definition you're using, but it must be in the minority.
