Sounds like a security nightmare. The reason I like my iPhone is because it’s a walled garden. Things just work. This regulation hampers this

  You don’t need to leave the walled garden

    Wait till must-have apps go for 3rd party stores and exploit that to no end. E.g. banking, transit, parking etc.

      Can you point to examples where that has happened on Android (a comparable platform that has allowed sideloading since its inception)?

        Android / Google App Store is much more lax, isn't it?
        • Tijdreiziger 4y ago
          How so?
• tchocky 4y ago
  Not really. It can still be a walled garden if there is an opt out option, so you can still be able to be inside it but with the option to go out of it and be able to sideload/use different app stores. Also the Apple app store will definitely still be the main source as people usually don't switch that easily for almost no benefit. No one will force you use a different app store as well.

    What if super popular apps launch their own stores?

      You can still choose not to use it. iMessage is super popular, am I forced to buy an iPhone? Depending on your definition of 'super popular', both Android and iOS are super popular. Yet I don't need both of them do I?
