Of course, Apple doesn’t want to give up that much access to a competitor. Never mind the privacy implications. Could you imagine if a rogue actor got into the system-level of your iPhone, disguised as an AI assistant? That would be a huge headache and nightmare.
This article seems rather a bit biased. Apple didn’t give their reasoning for it, and it seems presumptuous for Maxham to provide that reasoning, when it’s unfounded.
It also doesn’t seem like that big of an issue. Just have the assistant program run through the same permissions as a regular app, rather than as a system app, where you have to set the permissions you want to give it.
It also wouldn’t be Apple’s fault, any more than it would be their fault because you saw on Facebook that your iPhone had wireless charging, and stuck it in the microwave. People should be allowed to break their own devices. That’s part of the risks of owning something, where things can just break if you use it wrong.
