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

Oh you pay with google. Just not with money but with your personal data. Google, you’re not the client, you’re the product.

I don't, I use degoogled Android, I mean still android but degoogled not aosp, I just uninstall all Google apps through adb.

I mean if you go that route. You can jailbreak an iPhone and lost any app you want. But that’s not the conversation you’re looking to have is it?

I believe it's not as easy as toggle on adb debug in dev options.

But for that stance of a lambda user? Both seem equally difficult. At that level I’d rather pay extra and not have my data sold to the highest bidder.

It's not as hard you only need to know how to use internet and have some reading comprehension and you are good to go.. yeah probably the people who buy apple didn't got too many reading comprehension but to be fair at the same time I truly don't give a flying fuck in what people spend their money.
