With smartphones you can often, especially if you only download from Google Play or Apples App Store, check the name of the app. If it’s from a reputable developer EG Google, Facebook it’s probably safe.

Why are you suggesting compiling locally, aren’t package managers better provided your chosen Distro provides one.

That would be fine if there were no attacks that had been performed using IOT devices but DYN (one of the largest DNS Servers) was DDOSed using IOT devices recently and took down access to many major websites with it.

They aren’t much smaller, and the Cables have many benefits over lightning.

I’m not a fan of Apple, Not in the slightest. But the lightning port has been used for the past 5 years on Iphones and Ipads and Flagship Androids kept Micro USB for a Similar time. Also people will benefit from apple switching as they can now buy generic/other brand cables for cheaper.
