Unpacking Apple’s Controversial App Locking Update: A Critical Examination

Okay, so when this apple event happens, I feel like we need to have a real conversation with apple about one of their updates they’re making, it makes absolutely no sense of how they’ve described how to use it and how everyone’s actually going to use it. Have you heard that Apple’s doing an update in iOS that’s gonna be able to let you lock apps? I was bet dumbfounded by this when I heard it as well. So apparently Apple’s whole idea of why you can lock an app now is for banking. They want you to be able to keep all your banking apps and everything completely. No one’s going into my phone, opening my app and taking my banking. It’s being done by the banking companies. They’re the ones getting hacked and taking my money. No one else is taking my phone. Here, here’s my phone, take my money. The other reason they say they want to have allow this is because they don’t want children to be going into their parents phones, going to Amazon and buying whatever they want. that all sounds good and dandy and all that. We all know what it’s gonna be used for. It’s gonna be used for the most deviant things possible. Just cheating, sneaky links, uh, side piece activity, all sorts of dumb stuff. This. This update is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen. I need a real explanation. Like somebody sat there in An office and said, know what we should be able to do? Lock our apps from everybody, because they keep getting on my phone, taking my banking information. I’m just saying, there’s nobody in that boardroom that sat there was like, no, this isn’t. That’s not. Feels dirty. Doesn’t feel right. Also, like, when you. There’s no way to find it on the phone when it’s locked. There’s no history of you downloading, no history at all in your phone of, like, using it for maps or anything. There’s nothing. There’s absolutely nothing. So I’m just saying, apple, I want a little more explanation on why you think this is a good idea.
