Please. The Androidfication of iOS with malware/scamware would cost quadrillions in market damage.

- jen20 1mo ago> is competent enough to go through several warning screens What about "is incompetent enough to press the buttons when the nice man from Microsoft calls about the viruses on her USB"?
- gambiting 1mo agoShe's laugh at him and disconnect. She might not know where the space bar is but she's not an idiot.
- jen20 1mo agoGood for her - MANY people fall for these scams, however.

- jen20 1mo agoIndeed, it would be a good idea for iOS to have a mode for the elderly that is almost exactly like that (similar to child mode, and for similar reasons).
