Restricting updates of apps after the grace period seems risky from a security perspective... It could leave apps with critical vulnerabilities in circulation for too long.
- Workaccount2 3y agoRight, so in order to avoid this security risk it is imperative you only use the Apple app store. What is the name for this behavior? A protection racket?

- ImHereToVote 3y ago"Nice device you gotz there. Wud be a real shame if some sort of malicious-like character wud getz his hands on it. Capeesh?"
- bee_rider 3y agoJust disable the apps, then the vulnerabilities don’t matter.
- blackbear_ 3y agoEh? That can't be right! I thought Apple cared about their customers? /S
- thefz 3y agoRemember that this is an artificial limitation imposed by Apple, not by the EU.
- madeofpalk 3y agoFor whatever it's worth, I would expect any security vulnerability in an iOS app to be a vulnerability of iOS itself, and not the app.
- kjreact 3y agoBy your logic Unix is insecure just because an admin is allowed to install a trojan? The OS itself cannot stop the user from installing malicious software.
- catlikesshrimp 3y agoYou are not an admin of the iphone unless you jailbreak it
- kjreact 3y agoYou have enough “admin” access to install a trojan.
- madeofpalk 3y agoWhat iOS trojan are you referring to that is not a vulnerability of iOS itself?
- kjreact 3y agoPhishing apps posing as trusted sources (ie a fake banking app), a key logging browser, anything pertaining to trust. None of these are vulnerabilities to the OS itself.
- catlikesshrimp 3y agoAll sms, phone calls and websites can be used to scam people. On iOS, "users" are not "admins"
- madeofpalk 3y agoiOS has a significantly different security model than 'Unix'. iOS apps being significantly more sandboxed and restricted, technically, prevents many things an 'admin' could otherwise do.
