As one of the rabid anti-Apple people around here, I agree with Tim Cook on this. Apple's not tricking their customers into this arrangement; it's something the customers choose. Choice is good. Apple should absolutely be allowed to do this, and people who don't like it can buy from the competition.
It's just like removing other features, like battery replacement followed by degrading performance in software for older batteries so they could sell more new phones, or removing headphone jack so they could sell expensive bluetooth headphones which still don't have a proper high quality low latency mode so you can game with audio in sync and without having to manually calibrate audio offset for each bluetooth headphones when watching video.
Apple doesn't sell screwdrivers, only hammers. If you want a screwdriver, you have to buy some other brand. Stop blaming Apple for not selling screwdrivers. Why are you demanding that the hammers be used as screwdrivers? Worse, why are you trying to make it so that those of us that buy hammers because we want and like hammers are instead forced to buy a screwdriver.
I will never understand this attitude that a company should make exactly the product you want, and if they don't, you won't just go buy something else, you'll demand that they make the thing that you want. They don't owe that to you. Buy something else. Although I could build a stereo cabinet NUC with Linux by the time I'm done it would cost as much as a used mini, and be more complicated to run.
My phone is a old fashioned flip phone. Because in my judgment that is the best option for my use case. I don't need a thousand dollar phone, and the tiny screens are hard to read.
It's more like Tim Cook is offering a hammer, but said hammer will only work with nails purchased by Tim Cook. An then claiming that this is justified because otherwise his indestructible hammer will break.
You are not harmed by other people making another choice. Why would you assume that? Now you're just arbitrarily modifying the analogy. But fine, I can play ball. Apple sells Robertson screwdrivers and it IS Robertson, not 'Robinson' and other manufacturers make multi-tip screwdrivers. Apple has told you that they're not going to make a screwdriver with any other kind of tip, and you're complaining that they don't let you swap tips, even though you own the screwdriver.
They're not telling you that you can't do what you want with it, they're telling you that they. The opposite. Apple's devices are fashion accessories first. And fashion is often specifically designed to be uncomfortable, and not very utilitarian. It's to demonstrate that its user can handle it even with those problems. This will be taken in the same vein as "you're holding it wrong", "you're not supposed to user replace the battery but buy a new phone" and "you're not supposed to use cheap and ugly wired head phones".
Actually his argument is exactly the opposite in this case, since the government would mandate that sideloading is illegal. He is saying the opposite. In his analogy, the BAN on sideloading is equivalent to having airbags. So the car analogy equivalent would be for the government to make the "safe" decision for you and ban sideloading on Android as well.

Amid a heightened amount of scrutiny and tension surrounding the App Store and how users download and install apps on the iPhone, Apple CEO Tim Cook said today that customers who wish to sideload apps should consider purchasing an Android device as the experience offered by the iPhone maximizes their security and privacy.
From a report: Speaking at The New York Times "DealBook" summit, Cook said that customers currently already have a choice between wanting a secure and protected platform or an ecosystem that allows for sideloading. If you want to sideload, you can buy an Android phone. That choice exists when you go into the carrier shop.
If that is important to you, then you should buy an Android phone. From our point of view, it would be like if I were an automobile manufacturer telling [a customer] not to put airbags and seat belts in the car.
He would never think about doing this in today's time. It's just too risky to do that. And so it would not be an iPhone if it didn't maximize security and privacy," he said. Full Abbreviated Hidden.

At most, the platform should give up all data after they get a warrant and not before. You know, like how Apple is about working with the FBI on susp.

Maybe they need more help than just Tim Cook's curation. If you're elderly relatives are side loading Score: 2. It's not Windows. You can't just double click and exe and have at it.
You have to drill into the system menus, enable "Install Unknown Apps" and click past a warning. If you're relatives are being tricked into all that then they've also given up their SSN, Mom's Maiden and Bank details.
This is not strictly about security, it's about maintaining the integrity of the walled garden. Iphone is for the old people, confirmed. It's funny seeing how their brain-washing works on you. Sideloading is just part of the broader issue of being allowed to control your own devices. Make no mistake - you have just been manipulated to go against right to repair.
Re: Damn Straight Score: 3. Who said easy? Let's talk "real choice" then. Score: 3. If Apple wants to have a default setup where it's a pain in the ass to side load apps so that users don't accidentally do it, I'm fine with that.
