Oh man. By that headline I got my hopes up that Logitech came to their senses and renewed the Harmony Hub or even the glorious Harmony One.

They have much higher standards
Than who? Android play store? Definitely. Decades old established package managers like Debian's apt? Not so much.
Or do you mean the potential third party tool for iOS that doesn't even exist and now is much less likely to be good because of Apple being a douche about it?
To the replies in the other threads, they never see fanboys defending Apple, especially not on Lemmy: see? Whataboutism and "sideloading is automatic security and privacy (?!) nightmare" kool-aid.
More direct reply: no, alternative app stores don't imply less security. They could be more secure even. And sure it's all about money for Apple (and other companies = irrelevant here) but that doesn't void criticism.
Well, it basically prevents something like F-Droid for iOS arising from the EU ruling. Kinda big deal. Not that the fanboys would care though. Apple is infallible.
Sure but they’re also sold secondhand. Also people can be born in one country, but move to live in another one… bringing their devices with them. Apple’s DRM can’t be tied to hardware.
Why not? What happens in the examples you gave? The EU won't forbid such devices entering the EU or they'd have to confiscate them off tourists. How many Americans do you know who have EU devices and vice versa? That issue may be negligible.
Battery life must be equal or better, no extra points will be given for massive CPU/GPU power
LOL. Cherry-picking much? You corpo fanboys are so pathetic.
I think it's sad. This corpo worship results in higher prices for all of us. Apple created this weird pseudo religion that makes other vendors (like Samsung) raising their prices more acceptable while competition should actually put prices under pressure.
Samsung is crap too. They just saw there are enough idiots paying horrendous prices and matched Apple's. I'd never pay even 1k for a phone.
Show the cable, don’t show the cable; no matter the outcome people will defend the design decisions when Apple is involved.
How do you secure email accounts then? And wouldn't that make those just even more attractive targets?
