Brother in christ, how hard is this to understand.

Updates aren’t forced

How do you know? Have you checked the code that runs the updates? Just because the phone usually gives you the option to postpone regular updates doesnt mean that they cant be forced.

They also cannot affect user data.

What makes you believe that? Did you write the software that keeps it sandboxed?

Do people just believe anything that companies claim? If we could believe the things that companies claim, then the world would be a much nicer place but its not.

If its not proven, then its not the case as far as anyone should be concerned. Do we believe in religion now because the pope says that god is real?

And i havent even talked about code quality. Nobody can verify how well designed their software is. It could be a complete shitfest filled with old and insecure code that nobody does any auditing on.

Yes. I worked for Apple for over a decade.

You could be Tim Cook and i would still not believe a word out of your mouth.

You don’t have to. Opinions are subjective, and you’re entitled to believe whatever you’d like.

That still doesn’t mean you’re correct.

I am 100% correct in my assessment that iOS source code is not public which proves every single point i made beyond any doubt. Not a matter of opinion whatsoever.

Edit: I would be very happy if you could use your apple employee access to leak the source code ofcourse :)
