>As soon as you put a toggle in settings that says “yes, let me break things”, then you get YouTube videos that tell kids to go in and turn on the toggle so they can mod a game, or install some spyware, and break their iPad
I don't buy this argument at all. If Apple is indeed a top tech company, then they can also figure out how to have advanced PRO toggles that don't easily result in breaking things. Otherwise why do they call their devices with the "PRO" suffix?
Assuming that locking everything down till you aren't even able to change a ringtone or a wallpaper, is the only way to prevent the user form braking something is just lazy: lazy engineering on behalf of Apple, and lazy form their apologists who defend such a baseless claim.
That's like saying, the only way the state can guarantee your security is to put a policeman in each of your homes following you everywhere and tap all your wires. Very lazy explanation to justify what is ultimately a nefarious policy.

- Fwirt 2y agoTo compare it to wiretapping is taking it too far. You don’t have a choice whether or not your government forces a policy on you, but you still have a choice of which ecosystem you buy into. Complaining about the lack of freedom you have in Apple’s ecosystem is like moving to a totalitarian country where the streets are clean and the buses run on time and then complaining about the lack of freedom of speech.
