You’re missing the actual problem, though. Right now the OS is written in such a way that it rejects running any apps not signed by Apple, always.

In the future it won’t.

Exactly, and now 99.9% of us will have to deal with the decreased security just because those 0.1% couldn’t just go buy a fucking Android

Bruh why do people always say this shit. The median income of new BMW purchasers is $125,000. Credit isn’t easy to come by anymore anyways.

I know it’s Reddit’s fantasy that everyone who drives nice cars and has nice shit is just in massive debt but it’s by and large not true.

You have to be pretty well off to even get approved for a loan on a new BMW even if the car itself is a stretch for you

Is my phone broken, I cannot see Jack shit, just a black frame

Yes that’s just what Reddit needs, more terrible dad jokes and lame puns in a thread where someone’s asking an actual question lol

Apple letting people decide how their device works? That is actually surprising

Being able to block apps entirely from accessing the internet. Not just from accessing cellular data. Ironically iPhones sold in China have this feature

you guys are so fucked and nobody is going to feel bad. this dude literally included a link showing the EU trying to force browsers to trust government issued certs, and you're talking about "apple fanboys". when your entire phone can be read by the government with zero warrant I don't wanna hear one fucking complaint from you, just sit down and be quiet and have no privacy.

The part you are wrong about is where you think people are smart enough to understand this. They are not. Full stop. They just aren't. They're shortsighted, emotional, and naive. They will only cry about how it's bullshit that their phone scans their photos, when it becomes reality. Right now they think they can have some centralized authority that controls what features must be in a phone, but somehow prevent that authority from using that power against them. That is stupid. They cannot answer the question "how are you going to feel when the EU mandates an unpopular change?" -- that you asked of them. They can't answer it because they simply think it won't happen.

Most people do not understand, or refuse to accept, the reality that there are tradeoffs to every decision. Yes it is annoying that Apple won't open their walled garden. Yes it is obnoxious that I need to pay $100 a fucking year just to write an app to use on my own goddamn phone. That pisses me off. But if the alternative is letting the government MANDATE that I am allowed to install that app, I'll pass. Because I know the next mandate will be an app I very much do not want.

I look forward to when we have no legal encryption anymore. People will blame left wingers, right wingers, capitalists, communists, anyone but themselves.

Hope USB-C and sideloading is worth it.

That is hyperbole

I think I may have answered my own question: Apple's website for watchOS 9 says the following:

compatibility.

watchOS 9 requires iPhone 8 or later with iOS 16 or later and one of the following Apple Watch models:

"Or later" means that I should be able to use my Apple Watch on WatchOS 9 and simply not upgrade to WatchOS 10 even with the new iPhone. But I am not 100% sure if this is the case.

Can someone who has specifically done this (used an Apple Watch that isn't updated to WatchOS 10, with an iPhone 15 that is on iOS 17) comment on it?

The watchOS 10 site does explicitly say you need iOS 17.

Could easily be fake cops.
