In the end, your device will never be truly open source hardware + software, whether its Apple or not, so you will have to trust someone at some point if you’d like to continue using electronic devices.
True, but you can use open source software that is vetted by multiple independent 3rd party non-profit organizations that have only their own reputation to uphold, and who’s findings are verified by thousands of independent reaearchers.
Perhaps, in the end, storing your data on media you don’t actually control shouldn’t be considered as locked in a safe, but instead stored in a museum with a high price of admission.
If only we had open source hardware to run that open source software on, then it could actually be trusted. Until you control the hardware, you shouldnt consider it safe.
If only there were multiple independent 3rd party non-profit organizations that have only their own reputation to uphold, and who’s findings are verified by thousands of independent reaearchers, to review hardware and check for backdoors.

Hey, if those multiple independent 3rd party non-profit orgs can do those audits for Apple, they can also do them for random hardware!
You seem to have lost your train of thought, despite it being a single caboose.
Oh, on me, I thought we were talking about closed source hardware. Im sure when you said this, this wasnt meant exclusively towards Apple.
Indeed, that is correct.
