iOS 14 the most secure mobile OS ever

Does ArsTechnica not know the difference between privacy and security?

Apple devices are not exactly known for security. They have had horrible security bugs. Remember the root access without a password thing? Or the sign in to anybody's Apple account without a password?

But yes, Apple does beat everybody else in privacy protection.

If someone manages to get access to your smartphone photos, is that a security or privacy violation?

It doesn't really matter to the end user.

It's a tech news site, they should know better. The article is clearly about new privacy features in iOS 14 and doesn't cover any technical aspects of iOS 14's actual security. Calling it 'the most secure mobile OS ever' is just clickbait.

It depends on how he got access to it. By exploiting the OS, or because it didnt use the permission prompts correctly or it was misleading me.

I don’t think so ever since they got bought by condé nast their writing took a nosedive. They had a writer that did Mac OS and iOS reviews which were very extensive but he stopped doing them. It looks like their replacement is just a superficial review of a mobile operating system
