I don’t understand this. You can buy an android phone if you want to. They exist. Why do you need laws to make Apple more like Android? <br><br>The walled garden is why I bought an iPhone. If it bothered me I would have bought one of many android options.,(reply>), You need laws because phones have become the main link between many users and the rest of the world. You can't leave full control of this interface to a private company.,(reply>), @Adam N As a devil's advocate argument. I do see a downside...It's not so much a "Forcing Apple to Open up to the consumers" but closer to a "Forcing apple to open up to the PUBLISHERS...which then lock out the consumers equally hard".<br><br>As a consumer what in stops something like an Epic games store throwing fortnite money around and signing exclusivity agreements to force consumers in their store. Apple by law wouldn't be able to do anything," and consumers  lose the "Singular app store" only to be forced into multiple stores because publishers want you into their walled gardens. <br><br>As much as I love the "PC model" of getting software from everywhere....I cannot see the "no downsides" you claim when I'm forced to Have EA/Ubisoft/EGS/<a href=""http://battle.net/Game"">Battle.net/Game</a> Pass just for games...That's not better", that's just kicking it down the ladder so different companies can get rich.,(reply>), What if you want IOS but you also want apps that Apple doesn’t approve of? Also, you can just stick to Apple and their appstore, they’re not forcing you to install anything. <br>I really don’t see a downside here. People who want just apple things, keep only apple things. People who want both, get both, and are not arbitrarily blocked by Apple from updates and other software.
