Apple plans to charge fees for sideloading
Apple plans to charge fees for sideloading
Apple will soon announce policy changes to conform to the Digital Markets Act in Europe, with an impending implementation deadline...
Who would've thought? This isn’t going to fly with the EU.
Article 5.3 of the Digital Markets Act (DMA): "The gatekeeper shall not prevent business users from offering the same products or services to end users through third-party online intermediation services or through their own direct online sales channel at prices or conditions that are different from those offered through the online intermediation services of the gatekeeper."
Friendly reminder that you can sideload apps without jailbreaking or paying for a dev account using TrollStore, which utilises core trust bugs to bypass/spoof some app validation keys, on a iPhone XR or newer on iOS 14.0 up to 16.6.1. (ANY version for iPhone X and older)
Install guide: Trollstore

Did Tim Cook have a bad trip or something? Apple normally isn’t this blatantly shitty.

(¬_¬ ) Dude, you been living under a rock?
No
Joke aside, Apple has always been anti-consumer and shitty. Unfortunately.
But not this blatantly.
Every week they’re trying a new way to not follow it.
Apple is the company we all love to hate.
They make it too easy.
They're always this shitty, the difference is that usually they can just throw enough money at politicians to get their way at the government level so their shit just stinks behind closed doors. But for one shining moment a government that matters actually told them "no" so they have no choice but to be shitty in public instead. Well, I mean they could choose to not be anti-consumer and forgo some of the obscene profits they extract from their users but then they wouldn't be Apple.
Makes sense
