> Apple has shown that it’s possible to build comprehensive, always-on protection without sacrificing performance or user experience
Correction: They have only shown this, in the specific circumstance where one can patch both the operating system and the chip silicon and can compel ecosystem users to recompile using a patched compiler. There is no proof that this is viable with a subset of those components, and two of them are not currently taken for granted as normal.
why does this sound to me, like it'll be no longer admissible to customize "your" device?
it already kinda isn't... but this will be a Telescreen in your pocket. it really already is; but at least for now it's possible to use android and force it open.... but not for long.
next up: government license to open web browser dev tools... but by then it won't matter cuz it'll be 100% web assembly i.e. binary, the actual web 2.0.
