Yeah, Apple wants the government to step in and secure it’s market.
They were counting on “privacy” to be a big profit-maker for them, but ptople just don’t care.
And 99.9% of people need no more “security” than a 6 digit code.
But with all their money Apple should be looking to new fields, not that I blame them for aqueezing all they can out of the old.
Apple is pushing to supplant the laptop and possibly desktop computers with tablet hardware. The beta version of iPadOS extends the functionality of the TSMC fabricated A12X Bionic processor of the 3rd generation iPad Pro toward that goal. In comparison, the Nov. 2018 release of the A12X approaches performance of the Intel i7 series of that year.
