I like the current Apple model very much. I do not need to think safety or security when I buy apps from Apple App store.
Also I like that all apps including Spotify, Netflix, and all other big apps are available from the same place. Apps are updated automatically, and many of my subscriptions are handled in the same place.
For us users these are good features, that are worth the small premium.
- mechanical_bear 4y agoThis won’t change that for you (or most users). It will allow power users more control.
- cmdli 4y agoI could be wrong about this, but it seems like it would change for most users since Facebook/Google/Amazon/etc have a big incentive to push third party App Stores: ad tracking. Apple currently limits it, so I would not be surprised at all if suddenly all of grandmas and grandpas favorite apps are now “third party only”.
- smoldesu 4y agoMoot point, Apple's own App Store currently impliments ad tracking pretty much exactly how the Play Store does it: https://searchads.apple.com/ https://searchads.apple.com/
- jensgk 4y agoIf Netflix decides to open their own store, and Spotify will open another, etc. it will be much more inconvenient for me.

- mechanical_bear 4y agoThat is not going to happen. It will create too much friction for users.
- mycocola 4y agoJust because many users are currently comfy in their Apple bubble does not mean that the bubble should be allowed to exist.
- jensgk 4y agoWhy not? It is our own choice. If you do not like it, buy a Nokia.
- smoldesu 4y agoIt is your choice, just like you don't have to use sideloading. Choices are nice.
- jensgk 4y agoMost people dont like too many choices. And sideloading just might destroy the experience for the majority, because many big players could choose to have their own store.
- smoldesu 4y agoSideloading didn't destroy MacOS, Windows or Android. Unless you have evidence that iOS is somehow different, I'm going to assume that it won't destroy iOS either.
