FUUUUCK YEAH, long overdue.

1. Force them to allow users to use different chat apps with SMS.
2. Force them to allow “side-loading” 3rd party apps and stores (exactly like you can already do on MacOS).
3. Require unlockable bootloaders and/or 3rd party OS with reasonable security protections.
4. Ban “parts pairing” and require Apple to make OEM components available for purchase from 3rd parties, on all devices.
5. Force them to allow the use of hardware without an account.

That will be a good start. Hell I might even buy an Apple device if they were able to get all of that.

And to be clear, all of this should apply to all other companies but Apple are the most egregious violators.
