Alex Stamos made another good analogy about it being like drilling a hole in the windshield of a car
So digital wallets (including apple wallet) are a risk none of us should take is the message i’m reading here. Don’t trust anyone with your info
I will never trust the man who took away my headphone jack
How does Apple’s new incoming CEO feel about encryption and privacy? Is he willing to stand up against attack on encryption and privacy?
Is that why people leave keys under door mats?
Meanwhile, this MF bowed to fascists. He’s full of shit.
Unless you do it in China, right Tim?
Great analogy, I also don’t want the cops to have a key. Now, let’s talk booby traps for both.
One reason I stick with my iPhone over anything with a google OS
We are all trusting everyone with our info. Why?
I always think about red dawn set in modern times and flock cameras being control by an invading force.
I would have said you can leave a key under the mat for the burglars but the cops will get it too.
Many times the cops ARE the burglars. See: Watergate.
Yeah, says apple that’s giving all the Chinese users‘ data to the government.
Apple is the most hypocritical company in the world.
Also dirty cops or people who are supposed to be good acting in bad faith.
thats why i leave dozens of wrongly cut house keys all over the place. good luck
Why TF would I leave a key out for the cops?
That wasn’t for the cops. Dumb ass billionaires.
It’s 2026. The cops are the criminals
Nevermind the burglar, I’m more concerned that bad cops will use the key to put surveillance inside your home.
The contrapositive is just as stark a warning:
> *If you are foolish enough to leave a key for a burglar to find, a cop will too.*
Thats just Tim. No longer Tim Apple.
WTF. Who puts a key under the matt, or anywhere else for that matter for cops? It’s for family, neighbours, etc. Such a dumb (spelled with a “b”) analogy.
The CIA NSA and military backdoored the iPhone over a decade ago the skill gap between government hackers and the private sector is insane
I’d expect the cop to rob my house
“ when I was born I couldn’t walk or talk” type quote
Tim Cook?
Based?
What year is it
Simple. Just change to smart lock . No key need to put under the mat.
Tim Cook’s point isn’t really about Apple. It’s about math. A backdoor that only “good guys” can use has never existed. The moment a special access mechanism is created, it becomes a target for criminals, hostile governments, insiders, and hackers. The debate isn’t whether the key will be abused — it’s whether it happens next year or ten years from now.
I would leave the key for the burglar any day over leaving it for the cop
