This assumes facts not in evidence. The change is being forced by EU law, but it would take more effort to geo-fence it than to make the change globally. Not to mention the fact that it would be effort in the direction of a PR loss.
No, the more Apple way to spin this is as a positive for everyone. As if they had the idea the entire time and just now figured out how to make it work.

- wahnfrieden 3y agoIt's been previously reported, you missed the evidence you say doesn't exist (you frame your ignorance as knowledge of absence) >Apple is only planning to implement sideloading support in Europe. See also the language about this being the start of a rollout of sideloading in other reports - ie EU only. This will be driven by courts, Apple hasn't and won't be charitable. Apple spins every incremental change as a positive win to cover PR instead of admitting partial defeat. Btw Apple already today restricts loads of services and content based on region, you should look into that if you think that's a challenge for them
- akmarinov 3y agoIt’s not that hard - they already do it plenty. Like Apple One, Apple News, the Emergency SOS feature, the Apple card stuff, Apple Pay it Later, ECG on the watch, heart rate notifications, Siri defaulting to a male voice, etc that’s only available in the US/UK/some other countries. And that’s not even getting into all the changes they’ve made to the Chinese version of iOS to appease the Chinese government.

- rickdeckard 3y ago> it would take more effort to geo-fence it than to make the change globally No, really not. It's dead-simple to tie such a feature to the region of the user, it's how Apple rolls out and operates lots of their services...
