The "we only allow software signed by us" on iphones is forcing people quite a bit when bought iphones. There are no legal ways for a person to load their OS on the apple devices. Or alternate app stores.
- zepto 11y agoNobody is forced to buy an iPhone, and the fact that apps must be approved by Apple is not only public, but is a selling point that Apple advertises. Where is Apple forcing anyone to do anything?
- venomsnake 11y agoIf you buy apple ios hardware you are forced to use apple software. You cannot install lets say Debian. Not because it could not be reversed engineered enough to be built for it, but because apple has the walled garden's keys. Compare that to macbooks and x86 pc-s in which you could load anything you like. So apple are forcing you to use their software to be able to utilize their iDevices at all.
