Here’s my take. Everything Apple does is to make a profit and stay in business! I bet no one has ever thought about that before

The only problem with that is the people that do that will just complain their iDevice got messed up and it’s apples fault
For sure, really strong internal team, and I'm sure they also retain the top external counsel.
I wanted to do some things on my M1 12.9 iPad Pro, only to discover I need Cydia after searching for a solution on Google. Apple is really holding back the M1 12.9 iPad Pro on purpose to need eat into the MAC sales.
Because on MAC, it is super easy to do.

The greatest sob story ever told…
How many times has this happened on Windows and Mac computers or even Android phones. If this is a real threat and currently only prevented on a large scale thanks to Apple not allowing sideloading on iPhone and iPad, then there’s probably other things that are seriously wrong…

I know Ferrari has a no sale in first year clause to prevent flipping, as have some other manufacturers. I wonder how much of teh other stuff is an urban myth becasue Ferrari owners won’t do mods, etc. because that can seriously damage its value. Ferrari owners are a whole nuther brand of car crazies, and if it didn’t come that way from the factory or with parts made by Ferrari, or was touched by a non-Ferrari approved shop they won’t touch it. There really isn’t a mod or DIY culture amongst Ferrari owners.
I do agree companies will go to great lengths to protect their brands.
That was the genesis of the Mac - Steve wanted a computer that was his vision, not that of Woz’s. Woz is a hacker and Steve is a visionary, so the whole design approach is different. Woz wanted a machine people could tinker with and mod, Steve wanted no one messing with his view of what a computer should be. The early ][‘s included schematics, something that the Mac would never do.
Yes, that was the reason the original Macintosh had expansion slots, because Woz was adamant about it.
But that's pretty much it. Woz has not been with Apple for a long time, while Jobs maintained his vision. The Macs slowly lose their ability to be user accessible, from non-user accessible drives and RAM, to finally having everything soldered in.
Heck, I'd bet that if Jobs were still around, he would've never agreed on putting USB-C on the iPad.
Yes, I have incredible memories of that time. I got the iPhone on launch day and only a couple of days later there was already a jailbreak available for it, though I can’t recall if that particular terminology was being used yet. I recall the program used was called “iBrickr”. At that point the only goal was custom ringtones!
I think you are referring to the Apple ][. The Mac didn't get slots till the Mac Plus.
Thus returning to the original Mac's design philosophy...

No doubt.
The only thing that’s seriously wrong is what’s seriously wrong regardless of if you’re talking about getting a call from a fake Dell representative or someone’s friend trying to sell them on a pyramid scheme… there are people that take advantage of others in order to make a profit.
There are companies with call centers full of people calling numbers (purchased by the company from various groups) looking for those that are least likely to understand what’s going on. Those robocalls that annoy folks aren’t being done because someone’s just got a lot of money to burn and likes to annoy folks. It’s a profitable enterprise. Spam emails? Same thing. Malicious websites? Also a thing.
All these things exist because they know out of the billions of computing systems on the internet, the largest security vector of every single one of them is the person with the hands on the keyboard. With privilege escalation hacks (or, just asking them to install an app that provides permanent admin rights to the system), they know that they’re likely just a few minutes from taking money from one unsuspecting user before hanging up and attempting to get money from another.
The security of users using iOS quite effectively prevents them from the most likely attack vector, themselves. Someone would have to had not ever received any spam emails, not received any spam calls and never seen a malicious popup ad to not know that this is a problem.

As so often the story comes down to ‘security through restrictions vs. security through educated awareness’, authoritarians preaching the former, liberals trusting in the latter. Too bad that the current mainstream ideology is a deformity that fosters unrestricted consumption through the availability of internally restricted goods: everyone can have everything all the time because everything is tailored to the mental capacities of a lump of yeast.
Everyone can’t have EVERYTHING. I mean, everyone can’t sideload apps on to an iDevice.
For those that do want everything i.e. sideloading apps onto an iDevice, I wouldn’t say they have the mental capacities of a lump of yeast.
My 12 Pro Max has been jailbroken for several months and will stay this way, unless I have to have my device replaced. I don’t have as many tweaks as I did on iOS 13, but the ones I am now using are ones I can’t part with for iOS 15, hence why I am still on 14.1.
Yeah. I’ve jailbroken every iPhone I’ve had from the 4 up to my 12 Pro Max. It’s why I haven’t updated from 14.1. I’m not missing out on anything on iOS 15, and my device is customized just the way I like it.
i wrote on another topic but is inactive, i see some activity here.
have ipad air 2, 2/32 5 years now and i like to jailbrake because i cant get any money if i sell it. i had Android phone too, with which i can do whatever i want, even non rooted. ipad air 2 have new 15.2 Ipados, is it possible to jailbrake it and how? i like to use some ++ apps, youtube ++, instagram, faceook, some games, want get rid of ads, and some more customization. i am using Google apps mostly.
is it possible to do it on 15.2, or should i stop upgrade to his last ipados 16, and then probably will be an option for 15.2?
Also i dont have Mac. I have PC windows 10.
