somehow the decade of jailbroken apps haven't done that. I doubt being able to search the web for an alt app store would do worse.


I don’t think you are aware of all the damage that has been done. Being unaware does not make it disappear. For you, maybe, but not for Apple.


What damage?

Apple losing 30% fee? Money lost for apple is money saved by people.

Why are you so invested in defending that company's shitty practices?

When someone already paid for their device they should be able to side load apps and use other app stores (without apple taking a 10% or 30% cut).

Are you an apple employee, marketer or investor? I bet that 30% cut on every app boosts their profits, but if people own phones they ahould be able to use them whatever way they want. Without apple taking a cut again just because.


I’m not any of those, no. But I agree with their stance on protecting privacy. You critics can’t stop thinking it’s only about money. But it’s not.
