It’s like I’m living in some bizarro world reading these comments that are biasly ignoring the fact that Apple keeps MacOS secure while allowing other app stores and applications to be installed w/o their permission.
or as folks who been saying choose another platform if you don't like it, choose another app if that app you are using requires sideloading.Until the key apps you wish to you choose to exit the app store, leaving you with a dilemma of eschewing those apps or opening your device up.
LOL, take note developers - you're paying 30% for your own protection. Just like the mob.You do realise that majority of the people who sideload apps are the ones who sideload cracked/pirated apps? How is that any good for the developers on iOS

It’s hard to imagine there aren’t talks at this point of Apple just removing iMessage functionality entirely in the EU as a flippant response. Sosumi.
Regardless of the opening up part, what's to stop it from becoming download xyz store for xyz app, dozens of stores popping up will be like streaming services or worse, News+... So many news outlets charge their own subscription and don't play ball with News+.Until the key apps you wish to you choose to exit the app store, leaving you with a dilemma of eschewing those apps or opening your device up.
product that lacks innovation and delays are in no way related to eu forcing companies to open up their walled garden.Oh God, Apple just can’t catch a break from all this. I feel like the EU is the reason we got to see the new not-so-good iPads and MacBook Pros are delayed till next year. No November Apple event!
You mean the same country (USA) currently investigating Apple for antitrust violations?A functioning US President would have made it clear to the EU that such a move would be met with harsh economic retaliation.

That’s why I used the words like “I feel like” sheeeesh. It was just a thought 💭 😒product that lacks innovation and delays are in no way related to eu forcing companies to open up their walled garden.
Yes that is what is being said. The idea of the phone is minimized tech and enhanced user experience. iOS, the opposite of android.Have you forgotten the last 30 years of computer OSs? How do you think Microsoft handles Windows? Apple handles MacOS? They are both open. Apple says MacOS is secure, yet it allows these things that the EU is mandating for mobile devices.
Are you telling me that Apple can keep MacOS secure and not iPhone OS? Is that what you’re saying?

The U.S. has had antitrust laws for a hundred years that have kneecapped American companies like IBM and AT&T.A functioning US President would have made it clear to the EU that such a move would be met with harsh economic retaliation.
Hahaha nice post 😂. So, you are saying USB-C is years away? Thus we have it on iPads and other Apple products for years now.LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
Holy Hell
I thought I’ve seen it all.
Ladies and gentlemen, here is a post twisting themselves into a pretzel trying to make up why Apple products were lackluster this quarter for a decision that not only isn’t signed into law, but is years away from being in forced even if it became a law today.
hahahhahahaha

Keep getting this same tired argument over and over again. It will be software companies forcing people to use other stores, by only offering their apps there, so they can ignore Apple’s safeguards, or get more money (you… you don’t actually expect they’re going to lower their prices, do you?).Good news!!! Apple advertises the Mac as secure yet has open app stores, side loading AKA installing whatever you want. What makes the iphone so different? NOBODY is forcing you to do these on your phone if you don’t want to.
