Don’t hold your breath. If it means that much to you then off to android you go.

Epic figured they were in control. They’re obviously not in the driver’s seat.
It’s not up to them to tell platforms how they should be run. Either play nice in the garden by the owner’s rules, or play elsewhere.
Since it’s never going to happen, it’s all just fantasy dreaming. If you must have that, it’s over to android for you.
I’ve been an iPhone user since it first launched (outside the US), and I’ve never felt unfairly restricted by Apple’s rules. While I’m not a developer, I’ve paid to play inside XCode and deploy on my own device. It wasn’t onerous. I’m not a FOSS fanatic.
Sounds like people who don’t like it would be happier on android. Oh well.
It’s called playing it safe. Bad actors won’t be able to meet the standard and so users will never see their garbageware.
Totally fine by me.
Boo hoo for epic. Worlds smallest violin.
Pretty sure I can live with it.
Lol. Le yawn. Epic can burn for all I care.
Good. Screw ‘em.
100% you will never be able to sideload stuff without an Apple developer account for other than very short term testing.
And if you want to load anyone else’s app, a review of the app by Apple will be required before it’s digitally signed.
Neither of which bother me.
Wonder if they ever get tired of playing the victim?
This. Used malwarebytes to clean a user profile that had a bunch of adware installed on it. Was all I ever needed. The whole system was not compromised, just a single user profile that I didn’t want to bother regenerating.
Apple would be better off partnering with Tesla and doing the software side. Tesla hardware is nice but their software lacks polish.
Dear Apple, please just dump the EU. If they hate your products so much don’t sell them there and let them ‘enjoy’ android instead. M
Tried it after unRAID. Hated it. Erased it.
I’m totally OK with this, but having 2 pro licenses I may be biased.
It’s no different from other vendors that offer a year of upgrades with a license and you need to pay afterwards.
As long as it never moves to a “pay periodically or your entire license becomes inactive” (like Adobe), I have no issue with it.
They need to have a gentle way to handle upgrades after the included “timeframe” that also isn’t just “buy a new license if you decide to skip updating for a period of time” for whatever reason. If you stop updating for hardware or personal reasons for a few years, getting back up to date should still be competitive vs buying a new license.
UnRAID is absolutely worth it. Definitely the best computing investment I’ve made in the last 2 decades.
If (when) this allows iOS Trojans through side loading you better believe that Apple will throw it all back at the EUs doorstep. I’m gonna howl how idiots thought it would make things “better”.
Of course many of those people that “want side loading” don’t give two craps about users. They just wanna see Apple knocked down a peg because of their sad little lives.
Wanna make things better in a way that gets my approval, kill all subscription models and just pay for genuine software updates that need to be justified through the new features they add.
They never intended to keep them.
100% if Apple didn’t have the easy return policy they would’ve never “borrowed” it in the first place.
Be careful of what you ask for… the law of unintended consequences when politicians meddle in tech which they’re supremely unqualified to do.
I am most amused right now that people thought the EU “sticking it” to Apple was the end game. If you don’t like it buy android I guess.
Ssshhh. You’ll rain on the Apple haters tiny parade.
