@arstechnica as much as I hate Tim Sweeney, this a step forward. Apple is gatekeeping the apps you can install in YOUR OWN DEVICE. Fsck them

@esaporski @arstechnica any Android maker who locks the bootloader also does this, as does pretty much every manufacturer for things like game consoles, IoT devices (Spotify Car Thing, Nike’s shoes, smart speakers/TVs/etc.), the works.
