Anti-Trust

I agree and Apple have been pretty lax lately.

It did start with the Smurfberries, but now, since these new laws have been introduced, tearing down the walls of the walled garden, it is as if people at Apple have said “why bother” and are just giving up.

It is still the most securely managed platform for normie users personal data. The only rival on user security is a Linux-Phone (like a PinePhone) running a privately curated version of Android or Linux, maintained by a full-time team of specialist security professionals.

I am keeping my mother on the platform, but I am also reminding her to be aware of scams and if there is anything suspicious, to take a photo with her iPad or iMac and iMessage it to me. If her AppleID is compromised, it won’t help her, but it should be enough to minimise her AppleID from being compromised.
