I’m old school Apple and I’m Dutch. I remember Steve being pissed at Microsoft (re it’s market dominance) and we were able to download software from wherever we wanted. There were risks but so is driving a bicycle. I believe that customers should be free to choose from wherever you they want to to buy (paid or free). Apple changed their business model (or adjusted it as it saw fit) and me as a consumer had to adjust with. I sincerely hope Apple will be forced to open up and allow companies to offer downloads for free or paid (outside of the App Store directly onto your phone) and or allow companies to sell directly their software outside of the App Store. 

Question. I tried Apple, tried AppleInsider… To play Dolby Atmos on my ‘hifi’ set how will I get it to play? Is AirPlay capable to stream it or is the bandwidth limited and as such you won’t be able? My Yamaha set has AirPlay. I know I can play it via AppleTV but I’ll need to turn projector on otherwise I can’t see what I’m doing so that’s a pity. I have a iPhone 13 pro. I used a Schiit DAC but almost all DAC’s are two channel stereo. Your help is much appreciated. 

Apple (and Google) are way too strong for anyone’s liking, incl the App Store. I remember the old days where Steve was on every platform to complain about, mostly, Microsoft. These days it’s Tim’s shop that stops every competition and we the consumers are paying for it (sometimes with our lives). Of course there need to more places to get Apps, or like in the old days, download directly from a website. The argument that Apple keeps us safe is since two weeks out of the window anyway because Journo’s and political activists were killed because Apple was sleeping at the wheel.
