| Maybe a dumb question, but how is this suppose to work for iphone users? They wont have google play, and it seems like android/google play is required here? There is no way they would cut out such a huge chunk of the market. |

| Apple has device attestation deployed like one year before Google even proposed it: https://httptoolkit.com/blog/apple-private-access-tokens-att... |

| ▲ | Dylan16807 an hour ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I thought that cloudflare system worked on any hardware and the tokens are anonymous. Did that change at some point? If it didn't change, then yeah it should get a very different reaction! (Edit: it looks like the new system is still private and still interlinked with the old system that lets you use any hardware? I think?) Also I don't know how you could have missed the widespread criticism of apple and especially cloudflare on this site. | |

| The claim is that an iPad/iPhone will also work. Not that that makes it acceptable; if anything, it's worse, because if it were Google Play only it'd be more obvious how unacceptable it is, whereas catering to the duopoly makes it less obvious how much it excludes people and builds a reliance on proprietary systems. |

And only two commercial operating systems are viable in the world after this change.
Not nice. |

| iPhones have attestation too: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicecheck/establ... It'll just be more clunky because you have to install their app. |

| ▲ | jeroenhd 3 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I believe the latest versions of iOS just work from the browser, you only need to install the app for older versions of the OS. I don't know what technology they're using, but when I scanned the QR code it launched (downloaded?) an iOS app of sorts with one tap, similar to the way Google tried Instant Apps a few years back. Didn't even need to double tap the power button like usual. | |

| iPhone users will have to install the "reCAPTCHA" app. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/recaptcha/id6746882749 This is detailed at https://support.google.com/recaptcha/answer/16609652 |
