> I see that 5-6 years later they still don't. Sad, given the iPhone has a majority market share in the US (60%).
What goes around, comes around. Apple knows they make it hard on developers that want to make the iPhone behave like a normal computer. Same as any Apple platform, you pay the price premium for compatible software and not the other way around. Magic solutions don't manifest on developer-hostile platforms like that, and Apple makes sure of it. After all, they profit off every solution sold on their problem marketplace.
> there's no way to set up an iPhone without it immediately trying to sync everything to iCloud, like say, your iMessage encryption keys...
So much for "greater privacy" then, huh? Or... do we still think this is a negligible fact?
