Quote from: Pirate on February 19, 2024, 20:09:14allow sideloading apps
if people didn't know about altstore exists they are not educated enough to make their own decisions about platform security, apple is right
the rest sideloaded emulators, VMs and whatever they wanted for ages

Quote from: lmao on February 19, 2024, 15:00:55also don't think if you are not apple consumer it will not affect you
everyone will raise prices along with apple, just because they can

+1. Extremely sad news. This is definitely gonna affect me on a personal level. Honestly, don't know how I'm going to manage cope with respect to getting music now, might need to find a new hobby like sailing the high seas or something.

Quote from: lmao on February 19, 2024, 14:59:23people are cheering for eu shenanigans only until the realization they will be the ones paying all those fines

It really is embarrassing. They tried to allow sideloading apps and alternative stores in EU, only to somehow manage to make it way worse than even before. We definitely shouldn't be trying to regulate multi-trillionaire corporations.

Poor Apple. All the trillions of cash gone? ;) Oh I get it: you paint Apple as Dagobert Duck: "Wer den Kreuzer nicht ehrt ist des Talers nicht wert!" [Free translation but missing refrain: Who condemns the penny is not worth the pound.]

people are cheering for eu shenanigans only until the realization they will be the ones paying all those fines in the end either with higher prices or cuts on support/return policies/quality or anything else

apple is relatively low-volume producer spending billions on r&d, they can't let a penny slip away and lower the price, they can't afford to stamp a million crappy laptops like lenovo and have no worries about another plastic crap not selling and just reusing components in the "next gen". every attack on apple money will hurt their consumers and will hurt overall spirit of competition because if you get apple out of the door intel will just feed you their crappy 13 gen, lenovo will feed you their plastic masterpieces and google will feed you their personal data harvesters disguised as phones.

apple music isnt even #1 in top music apps, spotify is, so eu licking spotify's butt is simply raising eyebrows more and more across the community

The European Union is set to impose a 500 million euro fine on Apple as a result of an investigation launched following a complaint by Spotify in 2019. iOS 17.4 will at least partially adjust the business practices criticized by Spotify.
