I’m happy to see this being noticed more and more. Google wants to destroy the open web, so it’s a lot at stake.

Google basically says “Trust us”. What a joke.

    You underestimate the willingness of iOS users to tolerate a sub-par experience in exchange for their fancy walled garden ecosystem.

    Just the os alone is restrictive as hell, and they don’t care.

    Could they do it? Maybe. But it would be profoundly stupid of them to try.

      Your high-horse opinion of Apple users aside, you are right that OP is greatly overestimating people’s commitment to google’s services over their iPhones.

        I mean he’s kinda right. I’ve seen starving, rabid dogs go at road kill with less intensity than an apple user at a “new” apple invention.

        I am an apple user, but I was on android up until last year. It’s more an observation based on conversations I’ve had before and after switching than anything.

        Apple already has attestation in safari, so why would any major companies exclude them when they offer it also?

        Google would be really stupid to try to exclude apple os, because apple has safari. They would lose their iOS users, iOS users wouldn’t become android users.
