@maczydeco @stroughtonsmith Am I reading this right? Apple considers devices running iOS to not be Apple-branded computers?
I’m pretty sure they have previously explicitly marketed iPads as “computers” or “PC replacements.” And I’m pretty sure they’re Apple-branded.
I’m guessing their awkwardly worded reasoning is down to the exact wording used in their macOS EULAs…

@pmdj I don’t know what the exact wording on the System 6 or 7 EULA was, the installers I’ve found online don’t have any EULA, and my physical copies are at my mum’s place in another country. I do recall there being a tear-to-accept sticker and agreement with the original floppies 🤔

@maczydeco The only reason I suspect it’s something to do with EULAs is that they haven’t come out and said “we get to decide what runs MacOS, and iOS devices are not included” but instead used this bizarre phrasing. At any rate it seems written by lawyers.
