Android/GrapheneOS allows multiple profiles per phone.

Apple could do the same, with sufficient internal or external motivation.



Yeah but then maybe families will maybe only buy one iPad instead of maybe buy multiple so it's not happening.


Apple can charge $$$ for each extra profile:

  - earn high margin revenue with low input costs
  - save planetary raw materials 
  - save customer time, energy and space costs
  - improve customer security via data segregation
  - increase per-device storage revenue
As AI advocates say, more efficiency leads to larger markets.

Ignoring customer needs via artificial inefficiency leads to stagnant growth.
