EU Competition Chief all but confirmed Apple to be forced to allow 2nd App Store
I&#x27;m going to get downvoted to oblivion for this, and I say: bring it on, destroy my karma. I will not squelch my opinion when I care greatly about this. So:<p>I legitimately hate this. I use an iPhone because I don&#x27;t have the attention span (I&#x27;m ADHD) to manage things being fiddly with a ton of different choices. Because it&#x27;s set up in such a way that it&#x27;s much easier to live my daily life due to how Apple forces things to be done in general. (and don&#x27;t get me wrong, I KNOW the App Store has problems that NEED to be solved) All this is going to do is make my phone into the nightmare that Android is for me. I&#x27;ve tried to use Android multiple times, and it ALWAYS ends up with me extremely frustrated.<p>Get the heck away from my iPhone legislators. And people who literally constantly go on about &quot;you don&#x27;t have to side load an app&quot; or &quot;I should be able to do anything with my phone&quot; PLEASE stop for 5 minutes to consider how a bullheaded move like this is going to massively disrupt not only my own life, but a lot of people&#x27;s lives and make them more confusing and harder to manage. For example: People who don&#x27;t know much about using a phone&#x2F;tablet are going to have a harder time when Facebook becomes more hostile when they have their own store. Or if utility apps such as for parking put themselves in something like Facebook&#x27;s store, suddenly you have NO CHOICE but to use that store and their app if you want to park somewhere with a meter. Such as when you&#x27;re visiting another state for a vacation. Subscriptions are going to become a potential nightmare, and those scam apps that you can currently easily unsubscribe from their thing might become WAY HARDER to do because they&#x27;re in some other store that doesn&#x27;t tightly control that with an easy UI.<p>I hate this. So much. Maybe I&#x27;ll just go back to everything being on paper and use a flip phone for calls&#x2F;texts if this garbage goes through and the doom scenario becomes real. It would have been a good run of having something usable.
