alt Hacker News> They didn't start locking things down until the iPhone.
They sure have tried since forever though. My uncle complained about Apple for this very reason ~20y ago…

My uncle shouts at cats and thinks the CIA have an implant in his fillings, but I'm not claiming that as proof on HN.
Before the iPhone, what was their attempts at that? I remember using OSX a bunch before the iPhone was public, but never remember any of the ways they tried to lock it down, I might have been too young then.
