Man, sincerely wish Apple would make these changes available elsewhere. My whole family complains about how they cannot make Google Maps the default on iOS.
- hellweaver666 3y agoWhat I don't get is why they don't just roll it out everywhere? Surely it's more hassle for them to maintain multiple versions of iOS with different features for different markets?
- Yeri 3y agoMore hassle, but that hassle is covered by extra $$$ from forcing people in their ecosystem.
- basisword 3y agoI think that illustrates how important they think being default is and how much they have to lose.
- rahoulb 3y agoSo they can whine about how regulation interferes with their ability to innovate
- tety 3y agoProbably more about Safari than Maps If they limit the market they disincentivize google and mozilla from investing in native iOS versions of their browsers
- shiroiushi 3y agoIf you care about choice, iOS isn't the OS for you.
- asadotzler 3y agoWishing for Apple to do something is misplaced. Wish for and vote for a government where you live that's as concerned with your software choices as the EU and EC and European courts are for their citizens.
