Force Apple to open up the iPhone!
I’ve seen what the Android App Store looks like, I’m good.
Yeah like forcing you to only use the play store somehow makes the user experience better.
Your issue is google’s management of the play store not the more open nature of Android.
No my issue is with lax quality controls. Ghouls will take every opportunity you give them to prey on innocent gullible people.
I’m not perfectly happy with how Apple manages its App Store but it’s a whole lot better than Google and other app stores.
Well then you can keep using the App Store and ignore the other stuff as this does not affect you.
We shouldn’t allow Apple to hamstring the hardware we paid for with our hard earned cash by forcing us into their monopolistic store. The current situation is inexcusable.
My iPhone is mine and I have the right to use it the way I want.
That’d be all fine and dandy if I was the person that I’m worried about. Part of the appeal to the Apple ecosystem is that my grandparents can be largely independent while using them. I don’t have to worry too much about the things they download.
I want Apple to hamstring my hardware. That’s why I went with them in the first place. Go use an Android if that’s what you want.
You can just tell your grand parents to not download anything off the App Store.
Don’t be an apple fan person. You do not need to sealion on their behalf. They’re a trillionaire company, they can take the criticism.
lol I’ll continue to be a fan of things that I’m a fan of. They’ve built a product that I enjoy and I won’t be embarrassed by that
