People talk about these requirements being a blow to Apple, but Android phones are going to be the real victims. With iPhones getting USB-C and sideloading and so on, there are fewer reasons to get an Android phone.
- ClassyJacket 4y agoI've not heard about iPhones getting sideloading, source?
- arlcode 4y agoOne of the DMA (Digital Markets Act) or DSA (Digital Services Act) of the EU requires that. They both recently passed and will come into force in May 2023 (DMA) and January 1 2024 (DSA).
- yew 4y agoOne can only hope regulators keep grinding Apple's face into the ground until we have an acceptable phone. (Though the more competition the better, I say! It would only be bad for Android in a certain sense.)
- gammabetadelta 4y agowhat's acceptable to you may be unacceptable to others
- viraptor 4y agoI'm really doubting there's a significant number of people that wanted to buy a phone and the thing that made the final difference was lightning / USB-C.
- TheLoafOfBread 4y agoDeffo no from me. Until iPhone won't bring back 3,5mm headphone jack, I don't really care about it and will use any (even Chinese) Android phone which will offer me this feature.
