iOS 17.4 is now out with support for third party app stores in the EU

The thing with Android is that with free apks, you can download anything from anywhere. I used multiple apks for Geometry Dash, Minecraft and Spotify among others (I do own a iOS copy of Minecraft). If 17.4 does the same but with .ipa or whatever file they use now, this maybe the beginning of the end of Apple's greed. They have been taking small L's like web app backlash to massive, even titanic like L's like cancelling Apple Car, failed first party modem, Vision Pro crackgate and many more.

Apple has added M3 Airs and Airpods with Adaptive Audio (same model, just update firmware) but their laptops are war crimes. 8GB of RAM downgrades system performance and bottlenecks actual multitasking. Overpriced silicone cases when Amazon competitors do it for 20-35 USD WITH the coil. Smh.

Just plain, ordinary corporate greed. Extra 8GB is not worth 200 bucks, neither is 512GB. 1TB M.2 drive is easily around 50-60 dollar mark for PCIe Gen 3x4. 120hz OLED panels are not that expensive either, when supply chain report says an average panel for an iPhone 15/16 would cost 35 USD tops for 1. Apple sold millions last year, so they sure as hell can add 120hz to their vanilla models.

    I usually do not agree with the idea of having multiple app stores on a phone, because it hardly matters where an app was downloaded from. But then, high app store royalties by google and apple have caused a lot of stir lately and to the point that now they're forced to allow other marketplaces. Lol. If only they weren't so greedy
