Apple’s grudging accommodation of European antitrust rules by allowing third-party app stores on iPhones has left users of its Safari browser exposed to potential web activity tracking.
Developers Talal Haj Bakry and Tommy Mysk looked into the way Apple implemented the installation process for third-party software marketplaces on iOS with Safari, and concluded Cupertino’s approach is particularly shoddy.
Apple claims to invest billions upon billions in R&D and you say they can’t develop a private way to ping the users. But the reality is that it’s just intentional failings on Apple part, so that they can continue to falsely claim regulations hurt privacy and security. If you read the full article and not just the headline, you would know that Apple doesn’t even bother to check the site origin or validate JWTs. That is not a mistake someone with years of experience would make, it’s intentional moves to make it less secure.
