Seems far fetched that someone would go so far to attack you. What sort of enemies you have? What i'm saying is that most of us are willing to give up a bit of security for repairability and saving the planet. Phones and laptops are expensive products in terms of resources used to create them. We're definitely not paying the full price for them. Imagine how much would it cost to extract every microgram of precious resources and capture all pollution and co2 emitted in the supply and distribution chain. Instead we're lining the pockets of megacorps that use every trick to enrich themselves while slowly destroying the environment, the same corps that gives access to your data to the government if need be. I'd say the chance of a sophisticated hardware hacker implanting a rogue chip in your phone is somewhat smaller than the chance of your phone's screen or battery dying in the next year. |

The sort of enemies Apple designs for are the highest-level ones one can think of. They often kind of walk the walk with things like lockdown mode. I respect and like that.
... however the compromises they make in the name of security are often weirdly broad, UX-degrading and suspiciously align very well with their business interests.
