Tim Cook, CEO of Apple company, continues to make remarkable statements. It came to the fore in a statement he gave last week. In the interview in question, Apple’s CEO made a statement about the company’s iOS operating system. Regarding the reactions why iOS is not open source, the CEO stated that Apple’s priority is security. This time, the famous CEO made another statement on the same subject. Moreover, it is quite interesting!
Tim Cook reiterates that the priority is safety
The focus of discussions on the iOS operating system has been evident for years; not being open source. Many iOS users complain about this, although they love Apple’s devices. Because it is still a relatively closed system compared to Android. While Android users can download thousands of various applications from the store, the applications available to iOS users are quite limited.
According to Gizchina’s report, Apple CEO Tim Cook was involved in a discussion about the App Store and downloading and installing apps on the iPhone. The CEO recommended that users who want to sideload apps should switch to Android devices. Because Cook’s view on this issue is still clear; Apple doesn’t want to risk security.
The company’s number one name claimed that Apple will continue to protect ‘security’ and ‘privacy’ at the highest level. However, the European Union is currently debating the ‘Digital Market Law’. If this law goes into effect, things will change for companies like Apple. Because there are provisions in the law that allow third-party app stores to run on these companies’ devices.
Explaining the issue with an example, Tim Cook said, “For Apple, allowing side loading is like starting a car without airbags and seat belts. Apple’s mission is to maximize users’ security and privacy. Allowing sideloading is too risky. ” said.
Meanwhile, just two days before Cook’s statements, Apple’s senior vice president of software engineering Craig Federighi also made a statement. Federighi pointed out that installing apps bypassing the App Store opens an unreviewed Pandora’s Box full of malware.
So, what do you think about this subject? Do you support Apple’s stance? We are waiting your comments…
