Show me a single toaster that runs Linux. Or uses a Raspberry Pi. I did not pick a "dumb" toaster. Don't be ridiculous. Most toasters don't even have a LCD display or features like Waffle or Pizza modes. It's on the smarter scale of toaster.

I am a third party. I can load a non-Apple approved app onto an iOS device for free. Even ignoring jailbreaking by using Xcode. The app will only work for 7 days before I have to resign it but it doesn't need to be submitted or approved by Apple or follow their store guidelines at all. Altstore basically wraps that process up into a little bow to make it easier. Don't even need your own Mac.

I could also use Pythonista to write a working Apple I emulator. Is the iPhone still not general purpose PC?

Dude, do at least the most basic research. It took me one Amazon search for smart toaster to find a touch screen, programable, toaster.

I’d like to see the Apple 1 emulator please. I’d like to know which of iOS’ permissions you hit first.

That is so far outside the realm of normal toaster.

You don't need any permission's because it's possible to build entirely within the sandbox of Pythonista!

This is the future (5 - 10 years) for every one of the devices we all use.

I’d rather they all prioritize security, rather than extensibility.

Reading more about Pythonista, it’s seems unlikely that you could build a stateful Apple 1 emulator. But even so it looks cool. Arguably a little too permissive for my liking on iOS. I hope Apple closes all of those Inter-App communication channels. That seems like a security risk waiting to happen.
