About the security content of iOS 12.4.9

I turned off this feature when they shipped the option and promptly turned it back on. I use Apple because they make reasonable decisions instead of requiring endless configuration, and they made the right decision here. The lawsuit feels like pure power politics... Apple can handle the cost, I don’t feel bad for them or anything, but I see it as a pure money grab rather than any culpability for Apple.

They didn't add that option until AFTER being caught

I disagree with the framing suggested by the word “caught.” After they were sued, they shipped this option, I tried it, it sucks.
