What happens is people lie. And then they run to the press and tell people about this oppression, and they get their 15 minutes of fame. An evergreen Steve Jobs quote about apps getting rejected from the App Store.

Allow side loading and kick Spotify et al off the App Store. If alternate stores are allowed like the EU, there will be no argument that Apple can’t enforce rules for its own store since there will be choice. Let the freeloaders fend for themselves.

Maybe Apple should just let people install Android on iPhones in the EU, then you can let any company suck up as much of your data as you want.

Maybe Apple should just let people install Android and be done with it.

Apple should just shut down the App Store in the EU and have side loading be the exclusive way to install apps. Wipe their hands of it all and let companies figure out the logistics of marketing, hosting, payment processing, etc themselves. Apple I…

Well, Apple announced that developers will be able to distribute apps directly from their website this spring. If Apple and the App Store are so terrible, Spotify can leave and utilize that option. Seems perfect for them. So who wants to bet they wo…

Kick Spotify off the App Store and tell them they’re free to use one of the third-party “app marketplaces” that will be available in the EU soon. Shouldn’t be a problem for them since Apple supposedly provides nothing of value.

What a joke. Apple would have to develop an entirely new framework to allow third parties to support the functionality using their own apps and browser engines. The EU has claimed all these regulations are about leveling the playing field, but the…

"But you can 'sideload' apps on the Mac. Are you saying macOS is less secure than the iPhone?" — every defender of turning iOS into a free-for-all. The answer is Yes. macOS may be more secure than other platforms, but it is less secure than iOS.

If iOS 18 is as heavily focused on AI features as is rumored, expect it to be a very minor update for the EU. Everyone else will be enjoying the "biggest update in iOS history" while the EU will get some new widgets and maybe a new wallpaper. But, h…

I’m convinced some of these companies deliberately get their app rejected to get free press for their launch. Especially since this is exactly the same issue that their other app got rejected for. They know what they’re doing.
