You do realise that Russia asked and Apple complied to that?
Fundamentally, it's the same iOS. Just Apple will remove everything they normally add. As a user, you side load everything from there. As that OS built for it. They still patch it, but without having to worry about any of the apps except, Phone. I would personally even take away the built in iMessage. You just get the phone.
You know you‘ll have to pair Bluetooth devices? Guess I know the answer.
Tim should employ you immediately. Throw away a multi billion market. Go for it! And the the US prepares another bill. So shut down the US market as well. ?
I wish the EU would just make their own iPhone. They seem hell set on telling others how to make one. Best way is to do it yourself no?
Field day is not even close. This statement is ridiculous at best and cosmically stupid at worst. How can Apple ensure other 3rd party software works without breaking its hardware/software. When this law just punched an iceberg sized hole in the ship? How is that even possible to state? Apple is now responsible for this BS law by ensuring other stores work just as well as it's own. Even though, it's not Apple's store? Do they hear themselves? You will take proportionate measures to ensure... We did that already. Whatever EU.
I still think my option works best here. Apple provides the user with a choice when they initially setup the device. You pick "OPEN", or "Normal" iOS. If you pick Normal, you do things the way it has always been. If you pick OPEN, you get to download a few web browsers, and the phone app is preinstalled. Everything you side load. Apple provides iOS updates to insure the operating system is as safe as they can make it without breaking your ability to basically make it as unsafe as possible.
The ability to download and install apps from other sources than the App Store already exists on iOS but is (artificially) heavily restricted by Apple.
Yep, it's what happens w Macs. If someone isn't smart enough, or educated enough, to know to trust Adobe's own website to download their apps from, then maybe its just not safe for them to even use a computer or smart phone.
Or Apple can fix this on their own terms and render legislation like this largely moot while they still have time, which is expiring quickly.
I'm in favor of exiting the EU over this. Let Google deal with it. Let the EU have just one device.
I mean you're free to vote to leave the EU... the UK did and well it hasn't imploded, yet.
If a user chooses to allow their bank app access to Location Services — like they have to with the scary “sideloaded” apps on macOS — and then gets upset when that app uses it for tracking purposes, I’m not sure what to tell them other than that they probably should have clicked “Don’t Allow” from the get.
See how their investors feel when they bleed monthly active users and revenue due to users either not knowing how or not bothering to go through the process Apple would likely require to allow the installation of iOS apps from non-App Store sources.
1. They are called safe rooms.
Looks like you forgot the Bipartisan Bill, and the few ongoing antitrust cases. Yeah US and EU are capitalists, but in case of Apple it’s not serving the biggest capitalist called economy or government well. The overall economy reap more from multiple competing capitalists than from one monopoly capitalist who does not even pay the taxes they morally should.
By taxes they should morally pay, are you including the sales and income tax double taxation?
