    their… code isn’t closed? please link me to their repository, so i can check ios for backdoors. i’ll wait.

    also please notice i’m not discussing the merits of their choice to close it down here. i’m discussing their inability to show us they are truthful about their products being private.

    bathes one in false comfort

    what makes you think i’m comfortable with being spied on and manipulated by these vultures?

    before attacking others personally, ask yourself who really wants false comfort. “oh, but apple doesn’t do it!” yeah right.

      Some of the code is literally open sourced and available in public repositories. The rest requires one be a security researcher.

      The comfort is in choosing android because they are both the same. This is a decision based on emotion rather than logic.

      I’m going to hastily dissect the situation and how I’ve come to this conclusion. Mostly for my own sake. I do not expect you to accept any of what I am going to say.

      The comfort I am describing is starts by first observing the location of this discussion, an Apple enthusiast group.

      Further observation indicates a persistent attack posture towards the ideals of the group.

      This being an enthusatist geoup, it’s unlikely you’ll convince anyone here. You also aren’t suggesting an alternative.

      When your assertions are challenged you shift and twist rather than addresssing the challenges indicating you are not not interested in understanding or engaging with the group in fruitful discussion.

      At this point it is safe to assume your chosen platform is Android.

      Android exfiltrates data, you and are I not arguing otherwise.

      Your claim is you want to control your data but your chosen platform does not reflect this. This indicates your decision is not based on logic.

      Because you are not engaging with this group to expand your understanding of why others choose Apple not to offer alternatives but instead to question other’s decisions. From this one can presume this is for personal validation.

      A person does not need to internally validate their logical decisions. The logic is self validating.

      People do need to validate their emotional decisions. All indication is that this is why you are in this thread; emotional validation.

      You seek comfort in your choice to be in your own words, “spied on and manipulated.” in the face of alternatives.

      At no point was this discussion about anything more than your desire for emotional validation. This group’s very existence invalidated your emotions and comelled a response.

      I thank you for helping with deepening thoughts I’ve been developing I bid you a good day.

        i asked for a way to find such repositories and see the fabled open source ios for myself.

        not a wall of text berating me for daring to criticize the apparent god of phones.
