For years, Apple's iOS system has been known for its security, but that security comes at the cost of a lot. The system is very strict and Apple strictly controls the permissions of all applications. No installation or payment transactions can bypass Apple.
While this has its pros, it also has its cons. Apple was in court over limitations in its iOS system. Many users complain that Apple does not allow to run many programs and do some actions. Thus, Android smartphones have more freedom than their iOS counterparts.
In addition to user complaints, Apple has also been monitored by many countries. There are ongoing lawsuits in various regions accusing the company of monopoly, and in some countries Apple faces huge fines. However, Apple continues to insist that it will not open source its iOS system.
And the question was always like that for some reason. Recently, Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, gave an answer to the question why the company would keep its system under strict control.
Answer by Tim Cook
Responding to some regulatory questions recently, Cook said that Apple will pay more attention to privacy and security issues.
He said: “Our main focus in the App Store is to focus on privacy and security. These are the two main principles that create a very reliable environment for consumers and developers to work together. If users can trust developers and apps are what they say they are, developers can get a huge user base to sell their software to.”
Кук підкреслив: «Це перший пункт у нашому списку… Ми намагаємося пояснити рішення, які ми приймаємо, і ці рішення є ключем до забезпечення конфіденційності та безпеки. У iPhone немає неопублікованого завантаження та подібного. Ми не відкриваємо підтримку iPhone для програм без цензури. Ці програми можуть бути внесені до списку App Store і прийняти обмеження конфіденційності».
In any case, Apple puts privacy and other such issues first. But the company will have to face several lawsuits to survive.
