Comment on Apple steps up war of words with European regulators

then don’t install anything outside of their walled garden but don’t force it on everyone just because you don’t want it.

I moved away from apple a long time ago as I wanted to use my phone my way. there’s many reasons why some apps don’t make it into Google play/Apple store, doesn’t mean they’re bad. ad free you tube apps, streaming apps, terminal apps just to mention a few.

You moved away from Apple so I’m not really understanding your lingering problem with Apple.

I moved away from Nissan to Audi a few years ago, I don’t go around criticizing Nissan cars now that I’ve switched. Why would I?

  I may not use apple any more but there are plenty of others who do who would like the opportunity to install what they want.
  
  Also apples logic is a little flawed, if I buy a mac I can install what I want, why should a phone or tablet be different.

  Expecting logic from apple users is an effort in futility.
  
  I always need to keep this in mind when interacting with them.

  What if there were only two car companies?

    Is it Apple’s fault that there are only two major operating systems for smartphones? Can’t the same be said about computers? Sure there’s Linux but why doesn’t anyone care about macOS doing basically the same proprietary things as iOS?
    
    It’s like everyone wants a cut of their profits simply because they’re successful.

    This doesn’t really cut their profits in any way outside of app store sales I suppose. They are still selling hardware. Adding new soures of apps doesn’t, in any way, take away their “magic”. That’s not being taken away at all.
    
    Also iOS and MacOS are not the same. You don’t have to go through apple store to get apps running on macOS. There is no hard restriction on what software you can run on it.
