Third party app stores might even be ok if and only if the software manufacturers would be required to also offer their software in the official apple app store so users can chose between walled garden or a bit cheaper insecure shithole

After I got a new phone, transferred everything using the wizard, erased my old phone at Apple’s suggestion, and found out I don’t have apps that aren’t in the AppStore anymore, and lost all the data I’ve put into them for years: I’m with the EU on this.

The apps are either still there or wouldn’t run on current ios anyway so the eu doing whatever wouldn’t change a thing for you
