Your iPhone knows more about you than anyone. Here’s how to lock it down in an afternoon: passcode, account, location, lock screen, radios, browser and backups. Full checklist at the end.

you made the point that it works. here’s one example i googled in 30 seconds. here’s one for apple i also found in another 10.
your turn i guess.
I want to keep it 100% with you: I did not make the point that it works. I made the point that your claim (and apologies, I’m paraphrasing here) “there is no way to believe it works unless you personally can see the code” is absurd and I will stand by that.
The first link you sent seems to be about google. You were talking about iPhones though. Are you trying to make a broader point about more than just iOS?
The mysk case referenced in your next link (nov. 2022 analysis of a mid 2021 iOS version) actually had an interesting update this year: all the wiretapping type charges got thrown out but the deceptive practices claims were allowed to proceed. It’s likely the plaintiffs will win that one since the company has significantly changed the wording around the settings controls in question in the intervening five and a half years of development.
Despite how this might seem, I’m not trying to fight you. I want to bring this back to how you initially said “ios hardening is a myth”. I really think you have a cohesive approach and argument to make but you’re not tying it all together because you think that left on their own claims like the above and the one about not being able to trust settings unless you can see the source are self evident but they’re not.
as a kind of backwater waste of time discussion spur I think that specifically the source reading line of reasoning pushes people away from security and privacy because it excludes a person who can’t analyze the source code because they are unable to effectively read it.
Normal person who can’t read code even if it were in front of them in plaintext: “well fuck me I guess”
Now it’s extremely clear to me from your replies that you feel you’re in some kind of fight or something. I don’t want that. We don’t have to keep talking if this is stressing you out and it’s not a win or a loss.
