> Apple is going full frontal attack and saying the DMA creates security risks

Because it does create security risks.

App code in 3rd party app stores is not going to be reviewed, which means anyone is free to craft a rootkit embedded in an app and release it to a 3rd party app store.

Enjoy!

So you're saying that human code review by Apple is the only thing protecting your iPhone from apps installing root kits?

I never knew that every app gets root access on iOS and that the security model hinged entirely in Apple's control of the App Store.

Oh no! You mean exactly like it has been on a mac for decades?

You shouldn't be allowed to browse the internet. Everyone can buy a domain and publish any code, without it being reviewed.

If the OS is so shit that a rootkit is so easy to get installed, there's bigger issues at play.
