Well, since the discussion was about iPhones that both have a tighter security model and where every app has to go through the App Store, I fail to see the relevance.
The iPhone has the same mechanism.
The references demonstrate that they would use it if they needed to.

>I doubt that Apple is going to let the Russian government create the image or use some type of nationwide MDM or Enterprise. >On the other hand, this should be an excellent test of Apple’s security and review process.... In between your two contrasting comments, lies the rub of how much further Apple is willing to capitulate to the demands of nation states ─ who demand nothing less. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/2…
And that’s political not imposing technical changes on their devices.

That’s a distinction without a difference. The iPhone has the same mechanism. The references demonstrate that they would use it if they needed to.

Crimea only appears as Russian if you're viewing it from within Russia, which recognizes Crimea as part of Russia, not Ukraine. If you're viewing Crimea from Ukraine, it will appear as Ukrainian, because Ukraine recognizes Crimea to be part of Ukraine. That seems fair, doesn't it?
That means that American companies like Apple have admitted that Crimea is a part of Russia, not just an occupied territory of a foreign country? Despite the fact that there are no international treaties that would confirm transferring this territory to Russia?

I don't follow..pray tell, what are these arbitrary rules?
What rules ? Has Apple ever made a technical change to iOS that made it less secure in response to a government request?

The entire premise of the article is to highlight the fact that a government has expressly requested Apple into allowing pre-approved apps to be installed and make use of the ecosystem, on their terms. I ask once again, where is the separation or distinction being made between the political and technical, in this case?
Heck, Apple could theoretically make the sandbox more restrictive.
On top of that, changing the name of a country is a server side change and changes data. That’s no different technically if France mandates that all movies had to have French subtitles.

This very worrying, particularly because Apple recently caved in and marked Crimea as Russian...
