Apple warns Australia against following the EU in mandating iOS app sideloading, citing security risks. Australia is considering forcing Apple to open its App Store to sideloading as part of competition reforms.

Within the past week I’ve had to listen to 2 people talk about how Apple products were such shit because they couldn’t access their accounts or get into their things for work because they had forgotten their password or fucked up their two factor authentication.

These are the exact kind of people who will download some game just randomly off the Internet because they don’t have to pay for it and then when their phone fucks up, they will blame Apple

Yes, users can act completely idiotic. It still does not mean one company can have a chokehold on a massive industry stifling any competition as they see fit.

Had Apple acted by their own rules in the first place, they probably wouldn’t be under this much scrutiny by several governments.
