They are way too kind, they should disable iMessage and iCloud for any alternative App Store due to "security issues" and call it a day, we don't need a meta store, they should have just let us install IPAs to avoid all that
You can already do all that on macos yet its somehow not a security issue and just how computers work in general there, and is somehow this huge security issue on mobile by apples marketing of the issue. The cognitive dissonance makes no sense. You’d have to gaslight everyones experienced with personal computing since its inception to make it make sense. Its solely about locking down the device to enforce their 30% cut because it started out that way. If they released desktop OSs today and not decades ago they’d try and pull this crap too
Yea and if the UX and safety are actually better consumers will pick the better, safer option in the whole. It’s like wow I have my entire life’s financial documents on my Mac but somehow downloading Firefox via Safari on my iPhone is so risky and unsolvable.
