@AaronDoe @9to5Mac if someone wants to use it, it's up to them. Their phone, their risk. Also, no one will force anyone to use it.

Android has sideloading since forever and I don't see this big malware wave there, like some people predict will happen on ios.

@djvdq @9to5Mac Android has a massive malware issue (mainly Chinese off-branded ROMs) but also critical vulnerabilities found exploited on a wide scale for popular OEMs too.

Apple’s ecosystem has always been a walled garden, and imo should remain that way. Yes iOS has been exploited previously in the past. But it’s nowhere near as wide of an attack vector as Android is.

Android = Open Platform
iOS = Close Platform

EU shouldn’t get to force things on companies big or small.

@AaronDoe @djvdq @9to5Mac Why shouldn’t EU get to enforce laws that benefits EU citizens? It’d be weird if they didn’t.

An open market doesn’t automatically mean malware, Apple have great anti-malware protection on their Macs and can easily do the same on iOS.

@musser It’s not a benefit though is it? It’s just a power move from the EU.

Like them forcing USB-C on iPhones, who does that benefit? Say you’ve been a user since iPhone 5 when Lightning got introduced you’ve probably got a ton of cables/accessories that will be useless without an adapter

All I see on this topic is “well Android has it” yeah that’s true but Apple has always done their own thing

Also I still hate the EU laws are force on the UK and we left, just leave us alone already
