> The main problem is that Apple has backdoored my device.

Isn't that the shtick with Apple though? That they own the devices you rent and you don't have to worry too much about it. They always had the backdoor in place, they used it for software updates. Now they will also use it for another thing.

You didn't need to worry about it because they did a sufficiently good job at making the choices for you. This is a sign that they stopped doing so.

An appropriate metaphor might be a secretary. They can handle a lot of busy work for you so you don't have to worry about it, but they need access to your calendar, mails etc. to do so. This is not an intrusion as long as they work on your favor. If you suddenly find your mails on the desk of your competitor, though, you might reconsider. That, however, does not mean that the whole idea of a secretary is flawed.


I agree. I am just saying that Apple has always had massive backdoors in place. People were always pointing it out as a huge plus for iDevices. So no, the parent's main problem is not the backdoor. Otherwise they would have complained long ago.
