As someone who has abstained from Apple products since becoming even remotely tech literate; Does this change how we feel about Apple?

I still resent them and use strictly modded Android and Linux because I believe in it. It's just that the world isn't as black and white as our heroes like to paint it.

I struggle to see this as anything other than a PR stunt.

Apple wants to look like it cares about users privacy and fix it unsecure reputation after hashtag fappening.

ALPHABETSOUP wants to look like it's not as powerfull and omnipresent as it is and fix it's reputation after Snowden leaks.

They calloborate to stage a fake trial, where Apple "protects users from FBI" over some shitty screen locker gimmick.

Meanwhile ALPHABETSOUP lauthes and masturbares all over your nudes, having direct access to your iCloud storage.

No.

The point is that if you're using a proprietary OS you can never know if it has a backdoor or not. It may not have a backdoor now, but they can put it in quietly in next update.

The fact that you can never be sure if your OS has a backdoor is good enough argument to not use it.

If you want to be sure that your OS has no backdoor, you have to use open source OS and check its security hash.

apple is still a fascist control freak surveillance corporation that supports illegal drone assassinations.

and they allegedly asked the FBI to make their request under seal so that apple could comply without anyone knowing.

you'd have to be an idiot to think that apple changed.

No. It's pure marketing and PR. If there's any sincerity and real security, it's solely to capitalize on the growing push for privacy.

This completely

the whole FBI - Apple fight is a meme. The NASA has been completely quiet because they know they can break that shit whenever they want, they probably know all existing Apple backdoors. Think about it, who wins more with all this? Fucking Apple. All people everywhere will be like "wew lad, Apple cares about my privacy dey gud, let's buy more crapware". marketing and PR and native ads at its best.

If anything it's made me a bit more sympathetic towards the government

Prepare to engage full tinfoil mode.

I believe it's purely show, on both sides and both sides know it's all theatre. The FBI can crack that phone and knows that phone has nothing of value on it, they were just two crazies who did something in the name of something. Apple is already in bed with every government agency, but is allowed to put up this show for their PR.

But it's not just PR for Apple, it's also PR for the gov't, to pretend like they're not already all powerful, when in fact they already fucking are.

Oops, kinda missed >>40630 which said pretty much the same.

yeah, now all crooks and terrorist be like "dam I just use iPhone coz it's uncrackable".

Like that "we can't snoop on skype calls" shit that was spouted a few years ago. Until Snowden leaks proved that they always were able to snoop on Skype.

Don't trust anyone.
