    Yeah, it’s in the name is “security”. As if a third party camera or back cover is going to break into the OS, harvest super important user data, and then somehow find some way to transmit it back to headquarters.

    You know, or they just want to make money off of selling parts at 200% profit instead of Apples 500%.

    The idea that this is somehow a security risk is a giant steamy pile of bullshit to keep people buying their garbage.

      There is a very small risk if you’re a high value person, like an important politician or something. But those same people are incredibly unlikely to have something repaired over just buying a new one, so yea bunch of horse shit lmao

        If you’re a high enough level target you just ask Israel for a Pegasus account.
