I haven't purchased any apps in many years (despite having an iphone since 2007). The main reason is many of the apps I would have been interested in have moved to a subscription model. I'm not even willing to subscribe to Netflix, much less an app. So all the apps I use today are either ones I purchased one time in the past, are free, or are built in. I'm not sure having more app stores is going to change anything for me.

> I'm not sure having more app stores is going to change anything for me I'd assume this is exactly the kind of thing that would change how many apps you can get. I avoid the Google Play Store like the plague, because nearly every app is full of ads, costly, or wants a subscription. I've paid for apps previously, but have since moved to acquiring nearly all apps through F-Droid. What happens to the number of apps you, personally, are willing to install, when an equivalent FLOSS app store shows up for iOS devices?
