> Have the iOS device ask the user for permission to allow unverified hardware to work?

Why is 'asking the user' out of the question? If Apple detects a non-OEM component, then give me a modal when I power the device on asking me if I want to enable it. I certainly don't trust Apple to make that decision for me, everything they've done in the past suggests that they're primarily motivated by increasing profit margins.



A company that wants to make money? Gasp, say it ain't so!


It wouldn't be so distressing if they weren't already valued beyond a trillion dollars.


You don't become a trillion dollar company selling products people don't love.


Do we want to talk about labor conditions in China and how that contributes to becoming a Trillion Dollar company?


Correct, companies can only get there with subterfuge and good marketing.


Marketing only works until you get your hands on the product. People love Apple products. No subterfuge required, nor cringeworthy marketing like this: https://9to5mac.com/2022/09/09/samsung-apples-new-iphone-14-...
