Totally agree. I had to ween my kids off it slowly. Addictive grinding games full of rather nasty people.

Ok I understand the technical considerations here. But really what is the risk surface for me here as a dumb end user who uses apps from the store and a few things off homebrew and not a lot else? I mean I've got a large pile of Apple

Well it's not just about noise. There is also loss. It's easier to reconstruct and/or amplify a digital signal than an analogue one. Also it's easier to build repeatable digital systems that don't require calibratio
