Fuck Apple, I never need their check. I'm not a grandma.

  Sure you did, even indirectly: would iOS still be around now if every grandma got their money stolen through iOS malware?

    Did it happen with Android yet?

      Or with Windows computers?

      You can search for innumerable articles and anecdotes of people moving their family and elders to iOS on mobile and Linux on desktop for exactly these reasons

    Yes.

    Windows is still around, I think. And you used to be able to install anything on it, from any source, with zero control by MS. (On newer versions that's possibly less true.) But if you want to steal grandmas' money, it's much easier to setup a romance scam operation than to try to get them to install some app.

      Apple's own MacOS is still around, and you are able to install anything on it. Yet the world keeps spinning.
