    What’s the big deal? Google already do this to Android AND they also host Hackathons where they invite people to do this and reward those who do.

    Plus they have an ongoing bug bounty program so at anytime you can submit a bug/hack and get paid.

    Apple don’t have a history of doing this at all. This is literally the first time they are doing it because of the bad PR from Pegasus.

    It shouldn’t be applauded. They should be roasted for not having done this sooner

    Definitely applauding them on going hard and testing their stuff.

    I’m thinking of how Sony and Nintendo had piracy issues that completely ruined their hardware sales. Then again, they can kinda get away with it in the short run by continuing to release quality software.

    Apple doesn’t have that luxury as they’ve cemented themselves as making good bundled hardware+software. If any part of that gets crippled, they’re fucked.
