| EU antitrust plans will hurt Apple fanboys, claims Apple "Will no one think of the fanboys?" weakest argument ever Fruity cargo cult Apple claims that if the EU prevents it from playing monopoly, Apple fanboys will be plagued with malware and become victims of cybercrime. In one of the weakest arguments ever, Apple ramped up its criticism of EU draft rules that would force it to allow users to install software from outside its App Store, saying that would boost the risk of cybercriminals and malware. So, basically the EU must either accept that Apple can behave how it likes to rivals and customers or its products will “suddenly” become less secure. Building on CEO Tim Cook's comments in June about the risks to privacy and security of iPhones, Apple on Wednesday published an analysis on the threats of so-called side-loading. "If Apple were forced to support sideloading, more harmful apps would reach users because it would be easier for cybercriminals to target them – even if sideloading were limited to third-party app stores only", the report said. https://fudzilla.com/news/53694-eu-a...s-claims-apple |
