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)

    Google phones have much better customizability and as result have better privacy than glass paperweight you mentioned.

    I’m on five years with mine. Still gets updates too!

    Nexus 6 still gets updates 10 years later.

    Still they are not as good as Linux-first phones like PPP.

      You need to be running a custom rom to get better privacy than iOS. Stock android is full of Google spyware.
