Am I seriously the only person who dislikes the alternative app stores and being allowed to install apps outside of app stores? If there were problems with the margins or which types of apps were allowed regulations should have tackled that instead. I don’t want my mother or grandmother to be able to install apps from random sources ever.
Interesting that they are creating a separate team just for the EU app store, presumably because the EU is forcing Apple to make some changes. It seems like the investigations in the US, UK, Japan, etc will eventually lead to them being required to make similar changes everywhere.
As in one team for the Apple first party store in all countries and a second team for third party stores, which just happens to be in the EU.

If your mother or grandmother is tech-savvy enough to navigate the hurdles of enabling sideloading in the settings and deal with the scary warnings that come with it, then God bless them.
My mother has used Android for many years, and even though they have had their Windows installation plagued with various viruses, she hasn’t managed to install a single virus on her Android phone yet. And yes, I check every time I go back home.

Honestly i don't think i care lol. I'd be pissed, but i'd move to back Linux. If they're that hostile to me as a user i'd prefer they just show their hand sooner hah.
Apple is a two (three?) trillion dollar company. Their interests are different.
When they are, i'd like to know. The sooner, the better.
