Good lord I hesitate to think of the average iPhone user who hears about this, tries it, and winds up with literal vermin and spiders cascading out of it like the masks in Halloween 3.
I don’t follow Android, does this happen with a more open OS? Like tons of malware and shit? I mean with normal people, not Redditors
I was downvoted on technology sub for saying that I am terrified of this.
The number of people I have seen who just click Accept or whatever the button says without reading a thing is fairly high. And the number of people who end up installing shit and later say “it just came by itself” is high as well. I am so happy me and the family I care about are on iPhones and I read that all the scams this year in my city were on Android devices. I feel a bit safer knowing that it is harder to pull off this shit on iPhones, thanks to what Apple is doing.
I like EU push for USB-C and RCS. Not so sure about sideloading.
I’m getting downvoted for asking this in a goddamn Apple subreddit. If you want to know how a holocaust is possible, start with people downvoting for asking a question and work your way out from there.
