@viticci or.. this is a step in the direction of fusing iPad into iPhone, and thus open the iPad line for a more Mac like use 🤷‍♂️.
@macstories They’ll launch this, but not a store for Linux… because reasons.
@bgergely0 I’m very much opposed monopoly. But I fail to see Apple as a monopoly as long as Android and its flavours exists in the mobile space. And on the laptop/desktop side it’s not even on the radar.
What I meant is that one of the big advantages of having everything in house is the tight integration. Having to open up and support multiple 3rd party solutions is just gonna confuse most end users and ruin the “magic”.
@christianselig or treat yourself to a Pokit Pro.

@stroughtonsmith sorry if this sounds ignorant, but I’m really wondering. This all sounds like Apple is being forced open up to all, and effectively hollow out what make Apple products special in the first place.
Won’t all this just force Apples hands and have them look into other means of revenue (more aggressive ads, more iAPs, raise service pricing etc)? It seems like a slippery slope this.

I’m wondering as an end-user. Not a developer.

@47363 @stroughtonsmith @EUCommission I just tried the digital angle as well. I’m not allowed to buy anything on the Swedish Amazon site. I’m locked to the German if I want to order stuff.
@stroughtonsmith @EUCommission That’s true. I was thinking of the physical angle rather than the digital one.
@stroughtonsmith @EUCommission I’m not sure the Amazon angle is correct. I can’t select the Swedish store to buy from. I have to use the the German one. Maybe it’s possible to use UK and US but import taxes makes that a tougher sell.
@stroughtonsmith now if they just added Linux to that batch that would be great.
