    It won’t be your hardware in a few years if this goes through. The code will run in a secure enclave and you won’t be able to access your bank or log in to government websites if you control the hardware.

      Android phones are starting to do this, and it’s a nightmare for people like me who actually want to own the device they purchased.

      Needing root access on Android to regain basic functionality (such as the ability to backup installed apps) is a sad indicator of where we’re headed ☹️… As much as I dislike iOS’s walled garden, they make backups dirt easy for the end user - and they do complete backups too - app data, homescreen layout and all.
