It doesn’t matter bro. Fuck them. If they want to make their product worse let them, and go buy an android watch instead.
And man, stop buying the iPhone security horseshit. Apple devices are not more secure because of their walled garden. The literal entire business world runs on Windows which is a more open platform than Android and is perfectly secure.
This is nothing more than Apple being petty and not implementing a basic feature in a device agnostic way.
Windows is dog shit and it’s kind of hilarious that you mention them as an example of good practices when they’ve been losing market share consistently to Apple, Linux and more recently Google’s Chromebook/Android. I wouldn’t wish Windows upon my worst enemy.
And yes, Apple devices are more secure than any alternatives. The evidence is pretty much everywhere if you’re willing to look into it. It won’t take long to find. Even Google is looking to now start closing down Android and adopt the so-called Walled Garden approach you’re complaining about.
I work in Cybersecurity compliance but sure I have no idea about any of this. Random guy in Buyeuropean is the expert.
I am aware Linux is more open but guess who the biggest contributors to Linux are? Massive private corporations. Without their contributions Linux would be more or less in the same level of obscurity as BSDs.
Also, I never argued that Apple’s walled garden are what make their devices more secure, you strawmanned me into that. I know the walled garden is however a factor, even if just by stopping idiots from installing malware on their devices.
Apple’s behaviour has nothing to do with security and everything to do with preventing third party competition.
Welcome to the imaginary world of oversimplifications where everything is black and white. I think you didn’t spend more than two seconds thinking about what you’re trying to argue.
On the one hand you’re fond of open source code (which I also am) because you know that open code allows us to find vulnerabilities faster. On the other you fail to see that when the code isn’t open, bad actors are less likely to find and exploit those vulnerabilities. It goes both ways because news flash, security by obscurity is a thing.

The world runs on Linux actually.

Let’s talk again in a year’s time.
You’re literally defending a trillion dollar corporation’s anti-competitive behaviour, in a field that you have no expertise in.
On top of the fact that Linux is a more open platform than windows. So great job making a cohesive argument.
