    “Swiney” is an epic ass… I wouldn’t trust Epic games with my payments… especially if it is a subscription buried in layers of foo to end or pause it. One place to find my subscriptions… it’s called the App Store. 
    And this is based on what information and experience?

    I’m reading this on mobile so this might be hidden, but overall I would suggest to mark a news item as OPINION PIECE or NEWS to separate it from objective news.

  • Apple explains why getting iPhone apps outside the App Store is a bad idea

    “Apple explains why getting iPhone apps outside the App Store is a bad idea for share-holder valuation and their monopoly on the App Store”

    Anyway…

    Just allow side-loading in a secure container, which iOS can already offer.
    Add a warning when installing, but don’t work against my intentional action to side-load.

    When a side-loaded app wants access to an OS-level API, it can trigger the same user permission requester as normal. Just add a big warning there that the app has been side-loaded.

    I need to be in control of the device that I own. Apple’s arguments are heavily orchestrated PR events. 

    If they do their job right, my incentive to side-load should be minimal, because if they do, I want the App Store to where I download my stuff.

  • Apple wants to replace passwords with your iPhone or Mac

    How many time would you have changed your password over 5 years. If you think you will be encumbered by they system, just don’t use it and stick with passwords. The rest of us Apple users will enjoy the benefits, because we are not planning to jump to Android. Ever. 
    "The rest of us Apple users" is an assumption, and a biased one. Also, it doesn't matter whether all people are fine with it or not; from a company business practices side of things, this is exactly why anti-trust cases exist.

    This is a fine idea but:

    1. I want to transfer this data out of iCloud, which should allowed by Apple. I don’t want a lock in to their ecosystem just because I can’t access my keys outside iDevices.

    2. What happens when I need to login to accounts via routers, TV’s and other appliances? OAuth delegation? Apple’s solution shouldn’t hinder me.
    Super easy, when a tool doesn't work for you use case you don't use it. 
    No, not in this case, considering how this works. Imagine having hundreds of keys and not being able to use them on Android.
