    It would be really funny to hack that system and force on everyone’s flashlights and vibration

      And downright hilarious to compromise financials and MFA.

      Take long videos on the front and back, silently, then display them with a message they’re “published” along with their photos.

      There’d probably be a coup.

    Soon available in every country, no doubt, as obviously we all deserve to be… protected from our-naughty-selves.

    Credit where due: Apple saying ‘fuck you, make us.’

      You only hear about the “fuck you, make us” part and not the compromises they make afterwards. But how can you even tell?

      Or the usual, “we had no other options” after the fact they’re revealed to be compromised. And the cult swiftly tries to ignore this.

      Apple fanboys really love defending a company that doesn’t even open source it’s code. It’s like being sold asbestos in the 1900s just because it was marketed aggressively.

      “Yep thats the shit”

        Apple haters are just as predictable, their arguments just as tired.

          Not much to argue. Shitty close gated community is shitty. The company speaks for itself, we dont even need to shame them.

                Nobody spends more time thinking of Apple than those who hate the company.

                  Sure, Apple users see the logo less than those who use it. But tell yourself whatever makes you sleep at night.

    What does the app actually do? They call it an anti-fraud app, but I don’t understand what fraud it’s supposed to fight?

      It probably scans installed apps, settings that could compromise access (for eg USB debugging, bootloader unlocking), apk files in storage, etc all while sending juicy infometrics to an unsecured database

    If only there were a simple easy to flash ROMs onto phones that normies could do. Just plug it into a computer, run a program, follow instructions and have lineage is or so on it.
