Is Apple making a big mistake....

I thought it was very crack-able? Otherwise how did all the celebrity iPhones get hacked and how did all of them happen to have naked pictures of themselves on it?

Ernie, that is pictures uploaded to the cloud. That is a big ole cookie jar for hackers.

Everything is crack'able. They can make it very difficult but someone somewhere will always figure out a way around it. Always.

lol.....amen to that bro. The stuff people put out in the "cloud" and on social media baffles my mind.

My neighbor recently has his credit card info stolen. How ? He used his credit card at a fast food drive thru and the person used their phone to snap pics front and back of the card. Of course, your 3 digit security number is on the back of the card right. Unbelievable....

The more I look into Apples business practices the less I want to give them my money. Just a random thought....but really, do most people have such dark, deep Dexter type secrets they feel that not even God himself should be able to access their phone? Marketing 101 - create a perceived need for people, and supply that made up need.

Their business practices is one thing, security is another.

Think about it like this, lets say your home is fully automated, doors/locks/security camera's in every room inside and outside/ internet/all your online banking info, all run by one security company and you.

A third party approaches your security company and wants access to all the security in your home without your consent. Watch your camera's, access to your banking info, codes to unlock your doors, documents, etc. You'd be ok with that ? A phone today can do all that, no ?

Part of the products worth is it's security, remove the security and your removing part of the products worth. That's Apple's stance, and a valid one in my opinion.
