Here in Japan Apple is hugely popular, I think it’s close to 65%. Of course one reason might be that Samsung isn’t very big here owning to the historical tensions between Japan and South Korea. Of course in SK the opposite is true, with Samsung alone having like 65% of the market. Pays to be the hometown hero!
You mean it’s time to FORCE Apple to do something you want them to whether they want to or not. Apple could choose to take the Android approach if they wanted, they don’t want to. The entitlement of people (and companies like Epic) that think they should be able to dictate their preference without good reason is mind boggling.
Market forces already allow people to choose whether they like Apples closed approach or Androids open approach. As I already said above:
Then buy an Android phone. Problem solved.
You do realize that you're still paying this so-called shady middleman mafia corp for their hardware? It's great that you want to support developers by paying for apps, IAPs and subscriptions - I applaud that - but it sounds like you're being indignant out of one side of your face and compliant from the other.
LoL. You have a choice, in fact lots of choices. Go be Google’s droid…. Not everyone wants to be the product….
This is the part people seem to be struggling with. This, as you stated it…is a choice! If these people get their way, it now becomes:
That's one possibility, sure. Too early for me to say one way or another with that level of certainty, especially since there's no indication of things changing yet. This is probably something I'd feel like theorizing more about if Apple was required to allow third-party app stores and / or sideloading on iOS, but who knows when that's going to happen (if ever), and what the requirements might be like (both from the courts to Apple and from Apple to developers).
LoL…. Some of us remember the horrors of Windows. Thank god there are alternatives to that…
That has exactly nothing to do with sideloading but ok thanks for handing out unrelated buzzwords
Nice, way to paint the opposing argument as “trolling,” not like that’s against the rules or anything… 🙄
Ummm then just decline the access request if you don’t want it to have access… what is this lol
its back available for download for over a month now. Go ahead and parle now and get to your parlering.
I mean there are absolutely no apps out there that don’t hide their intentions and do what they want without notifying the users of their intentions. I mean that never happens, we don’t have any examples of apps behaving in a perfidious fashion.
Might as well lock down macOS then if we can’t trust users to make their own informed decisions 🙄 you’re responsible for what you install, and that goes for many sketchy apps in the App Store. It’s time for apple to stop playing nanny.
I'm going to take your repetitive statement and raise you a repetitive statement. If Apple don't like it they are free to not trade in a country where they don't want to follow the rule of the courts, (sometimes referred to as the law)?
🤣
🤦♂️
