[LUAU] iPhone - closed as closed can be

[Julian Yap]

"We define everything that is on the phone," he said. "You don’t want
your phone to be like a PC...  These [iPhones] are devices that need to
work, and you can’t do that if you load any software on them," he said.
"That doesn’t mean there’s not going to be software to buy that you can
load on them coming from us. It doesn’t mean we have to write it all,
but it means it has to be more of a controlled environment."
