While I like Apple products, their business practices does leave a lo be desired as they try to walk around the compliance of the EU Digital Services Act.

It’s only a matter of time until the iOS walled garden has to be more like macOS. I would prefer it if they gave choice instead of being forced into downloading apps from the App Store.

It's not like they are going to lose a lot of money as most average consumers will still buy apps from their app store and use their services. The difference is they have more control over their devices if they want and also more competition.

I have a bad feeling that if Apple keeps being punitive against EU’s DSA, it will end badly with more countries including the US taking action than just fully complying with it.

@chikorita157@sakurajima.moe Their official response is embarrassing to read, blatant misrepresentation on the purpose and effects of the act. Going on to describe such a hostile implementation so obviously created to discourage any consideration at using third-party app stores.

It reads like a child throwing a tantrum.
