• Apple rejects Hey calendar app for not allowing non-paying users to do anything within the app.

• Hey had previously faced a similar rejection from Apple for its original iOS app four years ago.

• Hey plans to fight Apple's decision, but the specific approach is not yet known.

Apple does that for enterprise profiles and vpn profiles on iOS. Guaranteed you can talk most people into doing that without much trouble.

You can trick anyone into doing stupid things. That’s why scam and phishing exists. I also remember tricking kids on counterstrike to format their C: drive to “activate cheats”

Sure, but it’s infinitely harder on iOS to install malware, spyware or something else, I’m sure you’d agree. How many times have you looked at someone complaining about their computer being slow and they have 74 browser weather extensions and bars all siphoning data and doing who knows what.

It’s also easier to track down the publisher of a scam app to figure out who’s doing the scamming.

Simply put, I have less to worry about with older folks in my life using iOS than something else.
