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.

Apple haters: One company shouldn’t have a monopoly on messaging! iMessage should be an open standard. Also Apple haters: Everyone should just use WhatsApp, brought you to by Meta.

Apple will take their time and do it right. And I can almost guarantee you that it won’t just be some chat app or a button you push, like what every other company is rushing to do with their existing products. “Click a button and write and email!” I…
