I don’t even understand how apple charging a 1.5eur fee to app installs made outside of their store is even legal under the dma? I truly think apple is the most evil company out there, it’s INSANE how anti consumer they are and they still get away with it. And it really sucks that they are so evil because their hardware is best in class, and there are many parts of their software that I want the others to copy, for example the fluidity and polish of all the animations is still unmatched. I use a Mac for work, and it is genuinely so much better than anything else, with the only thing holding it back being MacOS and it’s stupid “philosophical” decisions that are just plain stupid (i.e. no way to separate cursor acceleration on a mouse and a touchpad, no way to enable natural scrolling on a mouse and touchpad separately, no way to fully maximise without using full screen).

It’s actually pretty simple: they have created the perfect conditions.

First, theirs is not a customer but a fanbase. People want to be part of the apple universe because they are fans of it.

Second, they have made it extremely difficult to get out once you enter their ecosystem.

So basically you have a good bunch of people who are fans of their products (so not buying because of functionality but because of fidelity), and another good bunch that are captives of a previous decision and can’t get out easily.

There are other minor groups in their customer base, but they aren’t that relevant to make a dent in their sales if Apple loses them.

I hate how good the software is, truly undeserving to be under such a company.

I also hate the new MacBooks are ARM based. Lots of x86 stuff that is battletested is suddenly broken. Can’t count the number of Docker containers broken on Mac while it works perfectly on your regular non-ARM based Linux.

I’m guessing they’ll just distribute it in the form of an AltStore repository, and you’ll be able to use SideStore or something else to sideload it on any idevice worldwide
