| > If your argument is that insecure devices are ok for most people, you’ve already lost. Quoting things out-of-context is really bad. What I meant for that amount of security is the kinda of security where if you lose your device from your sight consider it already compromised. People that needs that amount of security will not be better with the Apple's new security theater. Android devices are sufficient secure if they're up-to-date (this is not always true, sadly). iPhone devices are secure when they're up-to-date (more likely) and not suffering from the 0-day exploit of the week (that is happening more and more frequently). Arguably every iPhone user would be much better if Apple started to take software security more seriously, but they prefer to increase their profits by making screen repairs harder "in name of security". Just to make it clear: you don't need to have "Apple certificated repair shops" replace the screen to have secure bio-metrics. The Google Pixel 6 shows this, you can change the screen, this will disable the bio-metrics until the device is re-calibrated (that doesn't need special hardware). Once re-calibrated the device will wipe itself, so there is no security issue here [1]. But even still, this is probably too much. 0-days seems to be so bountiful those days that buying a 0-day seems to be much cheaper than doing custom hardware, even when the hardware itself is not authenticated. Still, if you're gonna do it, do as Google at least. [1]: https://www.gsmarena.com/google_quietly_releases_a_fingerpri... |
