Raphael ERD, 15 Dec 2022No please this is a mistake we don’t need third party App Store Just don't install pirated apps or junk apps. No any malware. You can stay safe even if you use android.

AnonD-762416, 14 Dec 2022That sounds like some 347-5#17 cray cray nonsense.
This ... moreYeah tell that "technologically superior" bs to the manufacturers using slow SD600/700 series chips that I can guarantee would cost them the same as an absurdly faster D8100. Or to all the manufacturers removing jacks. Or to all the manfuacturers still not using under display cameras over 2 years after they were first put in a mass produced phone. Or to all the manufactuers not even centering their rear cameras. Or to all the manufacturers removing card slots. Or to all the manufacturers still using LCDs.
Technologically superior? Maybe one day again when they stop copying and pulling all sorts of bs. Right now I'm not so sure. This isn't 2014 where Androids had 1440p AMOLEDs vs Apple's hardly above 720p LCDs. Or twice the battery capacity. Or 3x the RAM. Or 4x the camera resolution.

This will surely affect the extortionist revenue they get from app store.
So....let me guess, they will charge more from 3rd party app stores to make up for the losses which in turn will result in 3rd party apps charging customers more.
So the only advantage of 3rd party app stores is you have access to more number of apps than usual.

If emulation is possible on iphone. It would be interesting to see which CPU is the best for emulation SnapDragon or Bionic or Metal (which ever one i be seeing both as being from apple)
It would be awsome especially since SD 8 gen 2 coming out soon in 2023 prettt much so itll be SD 8 Gen 2 vs A17.

joe nodden, 14 Dec 2022Android is looking less appealing than ever.

This will only affect Apple's extortionist "tax revenue". Force them to lower prices by a ton or face the risk of seeing big software companies starting an alternative.
People on Android don't just sideload simply because the option is there. That is not why we buy Android phones. We buy them because they're technologically superior and that will not change.

Oh interesting. Jailbreak users have been sideloading unsigned .IPA files for ages, I assume we're gonna see a whole new array of IPA mirroring websites launching after next year.
(.IPA is the iOS equivalent of .APK)
