Edit: What do you judge them for?

    Cybersecurity people with iphones. Not strictly judging them but it is a grim reminder that even the “professionals” barely understand the technological privacy dystopia we live in.

      I work in IT and I harshly judge anyone else in IT who willingly chooses an iPhone.

      When I started with my current company they gave me my choice of iPhone as a company phone (basically last year’s model at no cost, or I could pay a bit and get the latest model)… when I asked if Android was an option I was told “oh, no… Android is open source, so it isn’t secure”. If I didn’t need the paycheck I would have quit right then. I just stared at my boss and didn’t know what to say. I mean, I knew what I wanted to say, but I also didn’t want to tell my new boss that he’s a dumbass.

      So now I carry 2 phones and last year I broke my Android phone and had to use the iPhone as my daily driver for a couple of months. I figured I’d come to appreciate the iPhone but no, there was almost no redeeming qualities.
