Multiple app stores are no less secure than singular app stores everything else being the same.
Plenty of people aren't okay with Apple's actions but there aren't exactly great alternatives.
Nothing is stopping Apple from allowing other stores other than control and in app purchase profits.
- gls2ro 6y agoI think this construction is not so simple. How would Apple let other app stores and make sure they are secure? Will they review apps stores? Will it be rules for what an app store should do? If so, the is this the kind of app stores that people want as alternatives: app stores which follow Apple rules? If Apple will not review app stores and let them be installed than how are they secure? What stops a malware to be presented as an alternative store and then allow installation of a messenger while saving user and password from users?
- kaba0 6y agoHmm, like disallow them in the AppStore but allow sideloading apps, even an alternative app store - and then put a large banner that it is insecure blabla that the user can ignore if he/she so chooses. Or allow it only with some developer mode for which a user would have to touch something n times , like it is on Android. So those who don’t know what is it all about can stay in their walled garden, while the rest can use their goddamn 1000 dollar phone the way they want
- Guvante 6y agoWho says Apple has to vet anything. The user purchased a device which per the law in most countries gives them the right to use it as they like.
