    Yeah, better to just turn this off. Id rather not have random, unvetted hardware controlling my iphone hardware. Lock all that garbage out. I want my privacy and security.

      In this weird scenario I think your Apple hardware is perfectly safe, nobody is going to buy and pair third party devices for you forcibly.

        And if I did, i wouldn’t want it secretly exfiltrating everything about me to third party servers from companies that actively refuse to follow laws and regulations regarding data privacy and protections.

            You would be surprised how often people cheap out on their hardware, not knowing how those companies are selling the data about you to make up the rest of the price.

              It’s up to regulators and not Apple to be the nanny because Apple uses it to stifle competition. The only free market is a regulated one.

                  Is Pebble a data hoarder? It doesn’t share anything but is restricted from full functionality. You’re using Apple rhetoric where they’ll conflate Meta with everyone else.

                    Pebble should have access to my text messages and watching my notifications from other apps? No thanks. It can just mind its own business and be a watch.
