Apple's opinions are simple: If they have a good browser, then the app store - their cash cow - becomes unneeded.

by wernercd 5y ago
Of course its crap and outdate... it's the bait to say "we have a browser so you can use that instead of the app store" while knowing that it's a dated, subpar, slow garbage option. If they cared about having an alternat

You can afford what you can afford. If that means you can't afford a 2 bedroom house? Then you can't. Maybe you should downsize, learn a new skill and do more to become more than worth minimum wage. There's also 100 years of
