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

      Amen to that.

      I’m yet to find a single thing I need to do on my phone that required a side loaded app too. I’m sure there are cases, and I am glad the option exists, but it isn’t like people with a normal iPhone are completely shackled.

      I think a lot of power users out there would be pleasantly surprised if they took another look at Apple with a more open mind.
