I feel it is the way to go, to an extent. The EU forcing Apple to adopt everything that android has would make everything too saturated. iPhone clones would rise to an all time high, and there wouldn’t be many things to differentiate between iOS and android. Though I am quite interested in what others have to say.
The majority of people will never sideload anything anyway…aside from a cracked YouTube… YouTube music and Spotify apps I don’t sideload anything else onto my iPhone
My work phone is a 13Pro and i really hate how there is no easy way to block ads. Only way is expensive apps or premium subscriptions.
So im happy to live in the EU, hopefully there is a future with some new apps coming to iOs.
