Even as an avid Apple user, it just comes off as either sheer incompetence or disingenuousness to hear Apple wax such poetic over compromised security from alternative store fronts when macOS is just sitting there, having been doing it fine for generations.
I’m almost expecting Apple to deliberately self-sabotage iOS in the EU somehow just to make a point.
It's definitely disingenuous. They are using their legal defense as marketing, "you guys don't get it, we are just sooo much more secure as a monopoly".
Hanlon's Razor shouldn't be used for business and politics because there are big incentives to be malicious and play dumb there.
Please PLEASE let them do that, hopefully they will lose market share, and it will spread to other regions too, how awful iPhones really are.
Maybe we can even get some more serious regulation to reign in the giant tech companies.
Eh, I still think iPhones are pretty great and serve a purpose, but I do think apple has built their ivory tower way too high. I’m all for reining them in a bit.
Yes they are great in much the same way Foie Gras is.
