Who would've thought? This isn’t going to fly with the EU.

Article 5.3 of the Digital Markets Act (DMA): "The gatekeeper shall not prevent business users from offering the same products or services to end users through third-party online intermediation services or through their own direct online sales channel at prices or conditions that are different from those offered through the online intermediation services of the gatekeeper."

Friendly reminder that you can sideload apps without jailbreaking or paying for a dev account using TrollStore, which utilises core trust bugs to bypass/spoof some app validation keys, on a iPhone XR or newer on iOS 14.0 up to 16.6.1. (ANY version for iPhone X and older)

Install guide: Trollstore

I will never switch to iOS until they allow both sideloading and other browser engines.

I hate that I buy my phone from a shitty advertising company like Google but atleast they don't treat me like a child and let me use my universal turing machine universally.

Saw an article just today about Apple allowing other browser ~~renserinenfijes~~ wtf autocorrect, I typed engines, but only in the EU.

OK, so how do I make iOS think it's in the EU then?
