Off topic: This site is next to unreadable on my phone. Zigzagscrolling is an insult to the audience.
To partially fix, open dev tools and change the body tag's display:grid to display:block. I'm not sure how you can stuff up a single column HTML article, but they've managed to.
It's just nonsensical to use a device that dictates what you can install on it. Well, Androids don't come with root permissions either ( you should be able to get it easily if you want imo ) but at least you can install any app, even just create your own.

You do not need root on android to install a .apk file. I see too many people thinking iOS and Android are on equal starting ground. Android out of the box is fairly close to jailbroken iOS. Very few things require root.
Also, given how often you need to change phones (given build quality), if I have important data and you're a web app, I rather the server be the source of truth, and the phone a cache (so I don't loose data when the phone breaks).
I think removing persistent storage and the ability to add websites to the home screen makes it obvious what their strategy is. The EU shows that they want interoperability for big players like they do with messenger interoperability in the DMA. The web is such a fundamental standard and its interoperability is so important I guess the EU will fine Apple for such behavior. The question is how soon this will happen.
Too late, I'm afraid. Apple has pulled a really smart trick against the tons of paper written by EU commissioners.
PWA - progressive web app, delivered via the web, html, CSS, JavaScript, etc.
"Apple looks set to argue, contra everyone else subject to the DMA, that the moment from which features must be made interoperable is the end of the fair-warning period, not the date of designation." is an interesting point I hadn't seen before. I was under the impression that as long as they removed PWAs before the final deadline, they'd be able to claim they were complying in good faith. But I suppose that might no…
Of course Apple could've acted earlier out of the goodness of their hearts and to serve customer interests (lol), but like with the GDPR, companies tend to prepare longer and only launch their changes right when they're about to see any real risk. The end of the fair warning period is the final deadline.
Microsoft and Google are doing the same thing, I think it's to be expected with regulation like this, and the regulation was designed for this.

Creating your own app is actually pretty easy on iOS. I run an app on my phone right now that I built myself and that is not on the app store.
I don't believe you. I believe that you probably left out some crucial detail, such as having to own a Mac first.

shouldn't this be "$1600/hr" ?
