How does me being able to install an application i downloaded from F-Droid, GitHub or whatever other place i might trust or even developed myself on my phone without having to pay or get Apple's permission mean that Apple will sell my data to 3rd parties?
- jimmydorry 6y agoNot GP, but if enough people were conditioned to install their apps from sources outside of the appstore, Apple may end up seeing their AppStore margins shrink and do a pivot to selling user data.
- yoz-y 6y agoThat's not it, even with the numbers Apple touts they are getting from the App Store, they could comfortably live without. It's the third party app stores that would sell the aggregate data instead of taking a cut off sales.
- badsectoracula 6y agoBut that isn't something that has to happen, only something that Apple may choose to do. They do not have to, however.
