Interesting.

But let's remember that iPhones are the most privacy-shattering phones, with AI-driven scans taking place on-device even before any end-to-end encryption can have been triggered (that's why, for instance, Apple is allowed to sell phones & computers in China...).

Not sure if our keys and "private" Nostr chats could escape Apple's totalitarianism.

I’m not suggesting they can and don’t know enough about the privacy implications to say one way or the other. I’m suggesting that most people don’t care, and it’s the best option available while giving them the UX they want and possibly as close to the privacy and security as possible.

What you suggest means that literally anyone with an iPhone (myself included) has compromised their keys and thus it doesn’t matter. So it makes no sense to not allow that option for people. If they get burned, they will suddenly learn a lot about keys and security.

I fully agree. It's much better to clear the way to Nostr & other Bitcoin inspired apps for all iPhone users than not do it 🙃.

What we most probably need then is to promote more through Nostr open source privacy phones (that should become the norm, instead of the exceptions) and above all a phone-freed life, where no company nor State will be tracking our every move, and we'll pay our groceries with sats or the coming self-custodied Cashu, through standalone Bolt cards (no phone required).

Otherwise, the next step will be easy & instant fiat stablecoin payments through the Internet of Bodies, and each one of us carrying a Pop Mart designed chip in his preferred organ.

¡Muchas gra-sats! by the way, for your tireless educative and mind opening work!
