Apple products are all about stupid proofing.

Where do we draw the line between a functioning computer and chromebook? an IoT device? Stupid-proofing should not come at the cost of basic functionality.

Preventing side loading protects people who don’t know what side loading is.

No, it does not. Users attempting to sideload an app would obviously be warned, not to mention various other methods of malware scanning / sandboxing which can alleviate that non-existant issue.

Those of us who want it are a vocal minority trying to screw up their entire business strategy.

Creating Fisher Price computers is not a valid business strategy, and serves as a detriment for all users regardless of proficency. User freedom is beneficial for absolutely everyone.

True but don't try Tinder dating with an Android phone, lol. Apple products get you dates!

Any women who (who we're already assuning I'm interested in enough to take on a date) won't go on a date with me because of my phone's OS are dodged bullets imo.

My 12 year old son has a Samsung Galaxy S23 and is a total Samsung loyalist. I hope he doesn't have to dodge a ton of bullets.

It absolutely is a valid business strategy, Apple has been winning with this strategy for like 15-20 years now. Their shit IS Fisher Price computers and Fisher Price phones and ALWAYS HAS BEEN. Most people are fucking dumb and it is designed specifically for them. So for the love of god go buy something else. Please. I’m begging you and everyone else who thinks they are smart - STOP BUYING APPLE STUFF! Like holy shit do something inconvenient for once

I do. However, computers should function as computers.

Hope the sandboxing is really strong.

Vulnerable people can be walked through malware installations over the phone, or via guided workflow.

Also, naughty nations/employers can pre-load spyware onto devices they require people to use.

Definitely excited to see what the best use cases are but will await headlines this year about misuse.
