In March, the Apple iPhone will gain access to alternative app stores and browser engines, but will lose the ability to use progressive web apps. In this way, Apple is ensuring that it can collect a fee for downloading each app, with the blame being placed on the EU's Digital Markets Act.

Looks like italic font was written by someone who didn't even bother to read the article. Summary says some bullshit about fees, while article properly states that they are only allowed where WebKit stays the only browser engine, due to WebKit<->iOS interoperability that cant be guaranteed for other browser engines.

The correct response to Apple trying to victim blame is to just shrug your shoulders and continue to use the apps with less features.

Don't know if it's true. But someone on NBC comments wrote that PWAs are severely gimped on iOS. Likely with the intent being for them to not be able to replace full-fat apps. Supposedly what you could implement in iOS WebKit was severely limited compared to Android. Now if another browser engine comes along then it might implement more features making PWAs more viable. Or so I've heard...

lmao
