@iljawascoding @myell0w the apple watch app doesn't permenently compromise all day at you send over the Internet, like health information
How is Apple putting the “Apple Watch” app permanently on my iPhone different from Lenovo crippling their laptops with pre-installed adware?

@mj_langford@myell0w It compromises my mobile computing experience just as unwanted popup ads do. Extra steps required to hide it away. - View other replies

@iljawascoding@myell0w stocks app has been like this forever (+health +newsstand). They're stupid but not to the level you're saying - View other replies

@mj_langford@myell0w These apps at least provided some kind of limited functionality without me having to purchasing extra hardware.

@iljawascoding@myell0w The Apple Watch is not running all the time, or? You can just hide it in a folder, along with the other system apps? -

@iljawascoding@myell0w Not sure Apple wants a situation where people buy a watch and have no idea how to connect it to the phone, though. -
@smoofles Pretty sure Apple could have come up with a solution that doesn’t require an app on all iOS devices worldwide, if they wanted to. -
@iljawascoding Sure, and make it potentially harder for people to find it and/or find out about Apple Watch. Not sure they want that. :) -
@smoofles I like what they did with Apple TV 3. Should also work with watch: https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT202788 -
@fafner Yeah, it’s definitely possible. I guess it has more to do with letting everyone know there’s an Apple Watch. In a clumsy way. :-/

@iljawascoding the apple watch app doesn't intercept ssl traffic and doesn't insert new ads into websites you visit. -
@fafner True, but at least I can delete it or re-install Windows from scratch.

@iljawascoding it's not affecting your security for one. -
@iljawascoding it doesn’t run all the time. -
@iljawascoding really? It is an app. It doesn’t interfere with the functionality of the rest of the device. It isn’t a malware doing MITM.
