"NATO Restricted" is the lowest-tier of NATO classification. It does not require security clearance to access, and mostly exists to prevent the leaking of information.
mark_l_watson•1h ago
+1 I came to make the same point. Basically unclassified. Pretty weak press release!
runlaszlorun•1h ago
This deserves to be the top comment.
figassis•51m ago
So most NATO people will have access to this level, so it's where most devices will be sold.
KK7NIL•38m ago
Presumably most NATO personnel will have a significant amount of data at higher restriction levels, arguably making these devices of little use to them. It's a pain using a device that you can load some data, but not other.
irishcoffee•42m ago
Commercial products don't generally go from unclass to TS/SCI in one jump. We should anticipate this isn't the end, given how these types of contracts are generally structured.

Big change from when Steve Jobs killed the Newton and one unspoken reason was the USMC having just had a _very_ successful trial and being in the process of getting Apple approved as a DOD vendor.... (yes, I'm still salty that the only Apple products I've bought since my MessagePad were OpenStep 4.2, and two iPods for my daughter --- the MacBook I use doesn't count since work bought that --- at least Samsung and Amazon use Wacom EMR in their products, though neither is fully a replacement for my Newton....)
Teever•1h ago
I've wondered how the world would be different right now if Jobs was still alive.

Asshole as he was, there's no way he would have stood for the kind of shit that is going on in America, and he would have vindictively used all of his resources as the largest shareholder of Disney and CEO of Apple to fight it.

Jobs was obviously not the greatest guy, and harmed a lot of people around him but it's unlikely that he would be seen within a mile of the current President and certainly wouldn't have been photographed in the WH handing him a tacky gold and glass paper weight like Cook.

toyg•1h ago
Maybe. Or maybe he would have just sent a close associate or relative, like his big friend Ellison does.
Hamuko•1h ago
Apple has grown quite dramatically in value since his death. Not sure if he would have the leeway to oppose Trump as an officer of a publicly traded company when he's shown to be quite vindictive against companies he doesn't like.
bigyabai•1h ago
If we have to rely on the canny benevolence of a random CEO to prevent the world from going to shit, then we truly deserve to live in the shit world. Steve made businesses larger-than-life, and I expect his behavior played no small part in conditioning tech enthusiasts to respond to Trump and Elon's hyperbolic, baseless rhetoric.
peyton•1h ago
Tim gave Trump the paper weight.

Steve met once with Obama and complained about the fact Obama did not ask for the meeting personally, that it was too hard to build factories in America, and that teachers unions were kneecapping the American education system.

All signs point to Trump and Jobs becoming thick-as-thieves. Sorry.

Teever•1h ago
All those things may be true but at the end of the day guys like Jobs and Trump are like oil and water personality wise.

Trump would have invariably said some stupid shit about Jobs publicly or to his face privately and Jobs would have never forgot it and would have obsessed with hurting Trump over it.

For better or worse that's just the kind of guy he was.

jjtheblunt•54m ago
Did you know him or ever speak with him in person?

I have while working in Apple in a critical engineering group, and the negatives you keep citing seem to have died off in his 20s, at which time they indelibly (deservedly) tainted public perception. the post NeXT 'return' seemed very very different than what you describe, from in person experience.

joe_mamba•59m ago
>All signs point to Trump and Jobs becoming thick-as-thieves. Sorry.

Yep, this. We're talking about a guy who basically abandoned his biological daughter, had his stuff manufactured by slave labor in factories with suicide nets to save costs and increase shareholder value, and GP imagines Steve Jobs as this leftist freedom fighter that would fight Trump instead of work together with him to increase profits even further. People's delul, historical revisionism of people who were just cutthroat unscrupulous businessmen at the end of the day, saddens me.

We can agree has was good at business, without trying to whitewash him as some humanitarian saint.

Don't worship people you never knew personally as some sort of heroes because you never know. For all we know he could have been a client on some else's island, like Steven Hawking.

SpaceManNabs•17m ago
I rarely see tech hero worship pushback on here. I hope to see more of it.

We are all human after all.

quesera•6m ago
You are very wrong about Steve Jobs.

It's easy to be wrong about Jobs, because he was iconoclastic and idiosyncratic. And very very public.

He did some personally, individually, awful things, especially in his 20s when he hadn't really learned how to be an adult, much less a billionaire. And the latter protected him from needing to be the former for a while!

But if you believe for a second that Jobs would have tolerated Trump's wholesale ignorance and cruelty, you are making a huge mistake of understanding. That was never ever in Steve Jobs' personality, and in fact he was very outspoken about the excesses of power over the people.

1986•42m ago
Yeah, we're talking about the guy who leased a new car every 6 months in order to avoid having to put a license plate on it, and then parked it in handicap spots, right? Absolute same "rules for thee, not for me" energy

Jobs to Murdoch:

> “The axis today is not liberal and conservative, the axis is constructive-destructive, and you’ve cast your lot with the destructive people. Fox has become an incredibly destructive force in our society. You can be better, and this is going to be your legacy if you’re not careful.”

He would have understood the potential of LLMs straight away. If he would have delivered a successful product no one knows but 100% would have understood how LLMs could become another interface to computers.

I think his pitch would have been like garage band but for making apps “now anyone can make an app” feels very Jobsian.

HerbManic•17m ago
I suspect Jobs would have held off for a few years just to see where the road is going before making a move. In that sense, Apples current lack of real dedicated to move into the LLM space has become a happy accident. They have avoided the hype cycle and the potential blow back once the more exuberant part of the AI craze fade away.

They have pulled an accidental Jobs move.

pokstad•1h ago
Jobs was the rare person outspoken with unconventional wisdom. Don’t assume he would agree with your popular opinions.
joe_mamba•55m ago
He did it, GP's comment is the HN version of the famous meme, amazing: https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fa...
thejazzman•25m ago
Steve was a real, well known, and well documented person with many surviving first-hand witnesses. In his biography, for example, it mentions him pressuring Clinton to tell the truth.

I think it's disingenuous to map one's insight into Steve to an insulting comic about a fictional character.

runjake•57m ago
Three things come to mind, up front:

- Steve Jobs wouldn't have personally donated $1 million to the Trump campaign.

- Steve Jobs probably wouldn't have presented a gold bar to Trump.

- Steve Jobs would have been better at manipulating (reality distortion field) Trump.

NATO RESTRICTED is not a particularly high classification. Its handling requirements are a very, very small step above unclassified.

What holds Apple back in the classified space is not security shortcomings in the platform per se, but the fact that there’s no way to initialise and manage a fresh iPad without public internet connectivity. That’s an absolute dealbreaker.

wslh•33m ago
I understand that this is mainly about the Apple business where having an endorsement/certification is a barrier of entry for others, even if it's artificial.
NoiseBert69•14m ago
Restricted?

Even the monthly consumption of toilet paper on a base has this classification.
