    legislation is expected to be sent to parliament next year and focuses on four areas: app stores and payments, search, browsers, and operating systems.

    We also get Linux on iPhones??

    And the talk is just about sideloading… :-)

          By and large, probably… But I don’t think it’s true for everyone.

          As an iPad owner myself, I would love to ditch the OS! And I suppose alternative OSes would be pretty popular with the people jailbreaking their phones.

          I don’t want to impose alternative OSes on others. I would just like the option for me!

          Not true. I’d love to be able to jailbreak again. I’m locked in to the ecosystem by work and a backlog of apps 15 years deep.

          Granted I’m on Lemmy so I guess I’m not a normal iOS user

          Yeah it’s literally a status symbol amongst kids.

          My kid is desperate for one but can’t give me a single compelling reason apart from they’re seen as cool.
