I’m well aware of ARM and Apple’s policy to just make their products good enough.

I guess by your discussion you are saying Apple makes toy’s?

IOS is a toy.

Uh, if Apple products are "just good enough, and they are just "toys" according to your assertions, why is it that the Apple mobile devices have been the fastest of all the devices in all major bench mark tests by a good margin for the last FIVE YEARS, Okie?

iOS is the most secure mobile operating system on the planet, Okie. That means it is not by any stretch of the imagination, a "toy." On the other hand, Android, an OS which it was announced just a couple of weeks ago it was discovered not one but TWO vulnerabilities and an exploit that made over 900 million devices built with using that OS completely vulnerable to take-over by malicious actions by bad guys is, somehow, in your estimation. . . and that is just the last couple in several MILLION such vulnerabilities and exploits! The reasons it is so vulnerable to such problems is that it was designed so that anyone could play around with it, creating anything and publishing what they make, no matter how good or bad it is. Now that is the very definition of a "toy" OS.

In fact, it is "Android" that people refer to, in relation to iOS, as "Good enough" when compared to the superior experience of iOS devices, interface, and apps.

I guess if you call full fledged UNIX, a "toy". I suspect you don't have a clue as to what you are talking about. There is a reason the FBI had to hire outside help to hack the iPhone 5c. And the hack required access to the motherboard. And, that hack will not work with the 6 or any newer generation iPhone.

Meanwhile, hacks are not even necessary for the competition as there are back doors that give anyone access to your most personal information.

Me? If you want my private information, you need to get a subpoena.
