Absolutely never going to happen. Sorry. Stop buying Apple products. Money is the only language these corporations speak.
Comment on iPhone sideloading seems a certainty for European users - here's the latest development
M500@lemmy.ml 10 months agoI’m hoping this ultimately makes Apple open their operating system and leads to Apple letting users dock their phones and let it launch traditional macOS

I agree with you but they’re not going to see sales go down and decide to make less profitable decisions. Like Netflix, people said they were going to stop paying for it because the price hikes and the account sharing but they’re making better margins now.
We need to stop only boycotting and seek legal action. Antitrust Apple.

I have to say I thought that was kinda a pipe dream, but Samsung DeX is surprisingly useful and I use it a lot when I don’t have my personal laptop around but I do have a docking station (which happens a LOT in today’s hotdesking environment).

I think it’s a step towards a world where that makes sense. Not this time, but maybe next time.
This law very carefully includes only select software, they are carefully trying not to disrupt the market too much. For example, this is the law that mandates Facebook Messenger must support third party clients, where I should be able to send messages to it from a third party app and receive responses through an open API. So does WhatsApp and a few other messaging apps.
It doesn’t include iMessage though, because nobody cares about iMessage in the EU market. I am interested where this goes in the next decade. Hope they keep unshittifying tech.
