@corbin @jamiemccarthy @stroughtonsmith Yes, but an iPhone isn't a Mac. It generally has access to more sensitive data (e.g., health data), is with you more often and in more intimate situations (e.g., in the bedroom or bathroom), and had a much larger and generally less-sophisticated user base.

Also the payments don't have go "go through Apple" under these new EU rules, not sure what you mean there.

@corbin @jamiemccarthy @stroughtonsmith I'm not saying these changes are bad, necessarily. My personal jury is out, I see pros and cons.

But the risk profile wrt malware is not the same.

It is interesting that a huge natural experiment has been set up. What does privacy and security look like for US iOS vs EU iOS in a year or two?
