600: Everyone Ends Up at Crab — Accidental Tech Podcast

The latest iPhone and Mac Mini rumors, “new” “content” for the Vision Pro, and Apple’s latest attack on creators.

I do not know how the legal wording would need to function, but my general take on the solution is that OS manufacturers must allow the arbitrary installation/execution of applications/code on their platforms. It's just the "phones need to have install capabilities like long time desktop OSs have."

You can have an App Store, but developers must legally be allowed direct installation and contact with users, end of story.
