Apple has gradually excelled in hardware as well as software. It provides a huge platform for developers to pitch in their share of apps and much more. While the company is committed to providing users with a safe and sound user experience, Apple is battling criticism from other platforms such as Epic and Facebook. Apple stands firm on privacy and recommends that users do the same, In his latest interview with the New York Times' Kara Swisher on her podcast, Cook shares his insights on a wide range of topics. He also said that sideloading apps on your iPhone might "break" the privacy and security model of your iPhone.

Apple is currently in a battle over privacy with Facebook. The new App Tracking Transparency feature from Apple will be part of the upcoming iOS 14.5 update. The feature will basically require apps to ask for user consent before tracking them and their data. The feature is not only oriented for apps but also the web which has lead Facebook to argue with Apple saying the move impacts personalized ads. In addition to this, Tim Cook also states that sideloading apps on iPhone will break the security and privacy model.
