Not the biggest fan of this tbh. People who want open standards should just not buy iOS devices. It's not that hard.
This is such a lazy argument, it doesn't add any kind of value and it shows you don't care about how other people are treated. Please stop doing this.
True, I do not care about how apple users are treated. They have - voluntarily - decided to buy a device that is known to be anti-consumer.
If we talk about restricting stuff like rent, food prices etc, so essentials, I'm on board. But Apple? Nah. Nobody forces you to shell out that much money for a smartphone.
The problem is they have critical mass so developers are forced to target iPhone. Its a natural monopoly.
The US won't care as well since they benefit.
Dunno about that critical mass, iOS only has 1/3 of the market in europe while android has the remaining 2/3.
