Who knows, maybe one day you can run actual Firefox on them too? :p

You could, in the EU. But as the EU is only a small portion of the market (Apple did not succeed as much with brainwashing here), Mozilla said it would be too costly to literally recreate FF from scratch for iOS, only for the EU market.

You know, I hadn’t realized this before. Thanks to Apple’s decade-long policy, alternative browsers for iOS literally don’t exist, they’ll have to be ported. It will take years for that to happen, if anybody even bothers. Well, Google will.

And that’s how Apple will have managed to shoot themselves in the foot and have iOS fall under Chrome domination too.

At this point if they were smart they would sponsor the ports of alternative browsers that are not Chrome, but I doubt they have it in them.

Huh? Chrome is just Apple’s WebKit.

I’d love to be able to delete iTunes from the Apple TV OS. How long has that been?

itunes has been gone for like 5 years.

Ah… Yet another half-assed middle finger from Apple. What a truly dogshit company.

AFAIK, browser choice is still limited (as usual with Apple) because every browser on iOS needs to use Apple’s WebKit engine. That means they only differ in UI.

Not in the EU.

Even though that’s true, I think no one has made their engine for iOS yet.

yeah, its such a small market that it isnt really viable.

Additionally, based on the way Apple implemented it, the dev would have to resign in Europe.

Maybe that has changed as they keep making changes. Either way they are being huge dicks and have turned me off from their platforms and services.

you’ll also be able to switch to a different default for phone calls, messaging

Whoa, this is interesting tbh. I don’t think calls/messages is something they really expose at the moment for developers, do they?

Personally I don’t really care, the default apps are good and I don’t even know what you would want to replace the dialer for, but it’s nice that you can.

Imagine iOS getting the capability to have third party RCS messengers before (non rooted) Android though. Lmao
