THIS. And this is the main reason why I hate the EU decisions. Apple was always 100% clear on their message. The App Store is a closed ecosystem. You hate it? You don’t have to use it. You can do PWAs.
If they attacked Apple on their PWA support, I’d have backed the case (though nobody cares, obviously). But the case as it is now is dumb.
- wiseowise 2y agoYou hate EU decisions because they cracked down on clown monopoly?
- frizlab 2y agoHow is the iPhone a monopoly? You don’t want an iPhone you don’t buy an iPhone, there’s literally thousands of alternatives…
- wiseowise 2y agoWhen it occupies half the market and life is increasingly dependent on your phone it’s no longer “don’t like - don’t buy”. How about “don’t like the changes - stop using Apple”? Huh? What’s stopping you from finding another Apple if there are thousands of alternatives?
- frizlab 2y agoThere are no closed-ecosystem alternatives!! However there are thousands of alternatives to Apple. It is don’t like don’t buy, as literally NO ONE NOR ANY SITUATION FORCES YOU TO BUY AN iPhone. You need a PHONE, not an iPhone. Also in what world does Apple have half the market?
- wiseowise 2y ago> There are no closed-ecosystem alternatives!! Any Android phone is closed-ecosystem if you don’t enable sideloading. > However there are thousands of alternatives to Apple. Nice! So you have plenty of choice if you don’t like where it goes with Apple. > It is don’t like don’t buy, as literally NO ONE NOR ANY SITUATION FORCES YOU TO BUY AN iPhone. You need a PHONE, not an iPhone. That’s correct, so there’s no issue with someone enforcing Apple to make changes, because you can always switch to something else? > Also in what world does Apple have half the market? In a world called US, Canada and good chunk of Europe. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/iphone-market-share-by-country https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/iphone-ma...
- frizlab 2y ago> if you don’t enable sideloading. My point exactly. I don’t want side loading to be possible. Now I do not have that option anymore.
