There is nothing that prevents you from staying out and using all other platforms app stores. There are plenty.

> There is nothing that prevents you Correct. When this bipartisan bill passes, everyone will be able to install whatever app store that they want on their iPhone, and Apple won't be able to do anything to stop it. The future is going to be pretty awesome, when the law forces Apple to make it extremely easy for people to use other app stores.

  Future is already there on PC: Steam, Epic, EA and zillion other stores - it sucks. In China there are hundreds of Android stores - it also sucks.

    > Future is already there on PC Ok, and when the bill passes it will be their for smartphones as well, and people will be able to install whatever app store on their android or iPhone. > it sucks Then don't install the app stores that you don't like, lol. Problem solved. Only use Apple's, if that is what you prefer.

        Not free enough to buy a phone with only one supported app store - this option is too good so needs to be illegal. Meanwhile Librem 5 and Pinephone can provide freedom today but need cash, userbase and apps.

        You can simply only install the Apple App store... There is nothing stopping you from having a phone that has exactly as many app stores as you want on it. You can have your phone that only uses the apple app store.

        I cannot have phone with all apps in one and only store. I do not want to deal with apps moving between stores or any other stores at all. Nothing you wrote addresses that.

        > I cannot have phone with all apps in one and only store. All apps? Are you aware that currently nintendo does not publish the Super Mario Switch game, to the iPhone? Super mario is arguable an app. Your rights are not being violated because someone refuses to publish to your specific app store. Instead, you can have exactly what you have now. Which is that you can get a phone, and only use the Apple App store. That way, you don't have to deal with other app stores that you don't like. You can simply only use the apple app store. > or any other stores at all. Then don't deal with them! Don't use those other app stores. You were the one, at the very beginning, who said this "cannot accept there is group of customers that just doesn't want to interact them directly.". Which doesn't make any sense given your new statements. It sounds like, actually, customers don't have to interact with these developers directly. No-one will force them to install other app stores. In reality, this has nothing to do with what you choose to do on your own phone. You are free to use it how you like. Instead, what you want is to force other people, to do certain things with their own property.
