  • Epic Games expert says iOS could be like macOS without security drawbacks

    The expert is crazy, iOS not being “meaningfully more secure” than macOS is, (ignoring how ambiguous the word meaningfully is) is completely not the same thing as whether or not IOS has the same potential to be at risk as MacOS does. MacOS can download and install any software, which means it can be at risk of any malware anyone wants to write. That is the potential of risk, how badly the malware can be, given the worse that can be created and installed. The same malware simply cannot be installed right now on IOS, because it would not have been approved on the App Store. I can write an app right now that deletes all the files in a certain folder at any time for macOS, someone would have to install it, run it, approve the app to do those things. Ie, meaningfully it doesn’t matter that this app can be created and installed, because nobody would install it (please don’t underestimate stupidity). However, this has no bearing on the fact that you simply cannot do the same thing on IOS.
