I'm in two minds about this. You're not wrong, but I would be terrified if my parents had this "freedom". If some popular app required them to give it full access to their phone, they would do it, and they wouldn't understand the risks involved. I have always recommended Apple ecosystem products to my family specifically because it is relatively hard to do the Wrong Thing, and I honestly believe Apple being forced to loosen this control is a net bad.
If you want to root your phone and install all sorts of weird system-level tools, I have no idea why you'd choose an iPhone in the first place. That kind of thing is virtually the raison d'etre of Android.

- nickburns 3y agogreat idea. (who knew the name goes both ways?)
- LeoPanthera 3y agoUnfortunately, I cannot, because we live in different countries and Apple "families" have to all be in the same country.
- knallfrosch 3y agoThis is a better idea than the joke suggests at first. With great responsibility should come great authority.
- zilti 3y agoBeing terrified of freedom is... fucked up.
- sph 3y ago> would be terrified if my parents had this "freedom" We are so accustomed to the nanny state, we are afraid when we are left to our own devices and our God given brain. How can we possibly survive without our overlord telling us what is good and what is bad?
