"Never ask me for anything ever again." - Tim Cook

This will render Apple's "walled garden" philosophy useless and will turn iOS into a lesser Android, which is currently a lesser iOS in terms of user experience. Prepare to see big names drop out of the App Store in single file fashion as the trend grows. Prepare to see other BS applications like Adobe Creative Cloud and Epic's game store become more prevalent. Prepare to see less initiated users fall prey to scam after scam (especially older folk) and blaming Apple for it. Prepare to see the iOS App Store turn into the macOS App Store. All this won't happen overnight, no, but it WILL happen. People won't have any more choice than they do now. If anything they'll have LESS choice. A walled garden OS was an OPTION for people to use if they didn't want what came with Android. And now, they have two options that will be same s**t, different toilet. A major loss for the consumer end of the day. You want side loading? Go get an Android.

Apple needs to SERIOUSLY up its game on its channels lineup. Apple TV+ isn’t the only part of the TV App that makes for a post-cable cord cut! I love using channels on the TV app alongside TV+, but Apple isn’t trying to make them a part of the greater TV package and it’s a shame.  Amazon and YouTube have much better lineups than Apple, but Apple’s is the best service from a user standpoint. Step it up Apple!!!

What’s Fast Company? Who still actually reads AppleNews?

:-D

I read Apple news and am a news + subscriber

As am I. Underrated service. Love reading through it on my iPad like it’s an interactive newspaper/magazine. 

Honestly the coolest announcement today. Add this to the TV Siri Remote now.
