    but just roll it out everywhere, if it’s such a forward thinking company. i don’t understand where this precedent came from – you can of course install whatever you want on macs. what makes phones different in that regard?

    I wonder if the functionality is present in the US images at all. It’s probably excluded during the build but if it’s a feature flag it’d be a good reason to root… Which is probably EXACTLY why it’s excluded from the build.

      Hum if you jailbreak/root you always could and will always be able to use any third party app store. 17.4 didn’t change a thing for jailbreak users

    Apple: we now allow third party stores! You just need to pay us 1 million $! (We hope no one does it). And you need to use your developer account, but its easy!

    Epic Games: we paid the 1 million, we are gonna make a third party store!

    Apple: bans epic games developer account “Epic Games is not trustable!”

    Apple really looks like a 5 year old kid with its own make-up rules based exclusively on their interest and gets mad when those rules that they themselves created are still not enough for them to win.
