The problem with Apple devices, Jolly Roger, is you *must* log into the
Cupertino mothership for iOS devices to do anything whatsoever useful.

That's because Apple designed iOS devices as simple but dumb terminals.
Pretty. But dumb. A toy. No more powerful than a smart TV monitor in fact.

It's a fact no iOS toy device has anywhere near the power of a real device.
That's just a fact.

If you need me to list what iOS can't do, I'll be glad to tell you again.
But suffice to say there's a DANGER in making iOS devices dumb terminals.

That DANGER is that iOS devices all have logins into Apple's mainframes.
Which is why this password database is so damaging to Apple owners.

Why do you think iOS is the most exploited mobile operating system, JR?
