Apple blocks PC emulator from being available in iOS App Store and third-party app stores
App Review has rejected a submission from the developers of UTM, a generic PC system emulator for iPhone and iPad....
Apple and it’s policies can feck off
#1 reason I stick with PCs. Apple deciding that it knows best and deciding how users get to use their machines thanks to the Apple walled garden.
Windows would like to catch up, but thankfully you’re still free to completely break it if you want.
Oh. Well okay then.
I don't think EU will like the part about third-party stores.
@neme I like how the devs were like “eh, it’s not even that good of an app, whatever”
Ok.
Just another tactic to keep people in their Apple cage ☹️
ANDROID!!!
I know. It’s Amazing the bullshit we’ll put up with to avoid having to use Android…
Most Apple users want the “cage” for its near-mindless security and privacy. I used to troubleshoot and diagnose PCs all day. I got tired of managing my HTC Windows phone in 2008 and went to iPhone. It’s similar to running Windows Home for the smaller attack surface than Pro, or trading admin for user rights. I love not having to worry about the reliability, privacy, or security maintenance of my daily driver.
Give up all your data to google. You are the product.
This is generally true, but no more than what you do with an iPhone to Apple. Except with the iPhone Apple decides how much, where on Android you can prevent giving data to Google to the degree you wish.
There is no doubt Android phones have more freedom than iPhone. It's not even reasonably debatable.
Who said I ever signed into Google?
This phone has never been signed into any accounts on the Android OS level, I've never activated location services, and I don't even have a SIM card.
I run WiFi only, with alternate app stores and the ability to transfer apps from one phone to another by copying APK installer files.
Not every Android user is totally stuck to Google.
I was wondering why you were downvoted, until I saw the name of the sub.
Apple users are definitely in a cage, but apparently they won't even acknowledge it.
I'm not saying the phones aren't good otherwise, but using Apple is an obvious sacrifice of digital freedom.
It really depends on the user. I mainly use iPhone, but there are definitely some odd limitations here and there. I’m glad Android exists to provide some alternative.
100% I was one of those hardcore Apple fanboys until I realised it’s turning into a cult. I stopped defending and criticising Apple and it’s policies a long time ago, even though I use iPhone and android.
