I think that some of you guys are popping champagnes way too fast. First wait and see how actually Apple implemented it 😉

Eu iPhone more value

Gurman said Apple will introduce a “highly controlled system” that lets EU users install apps hosted elsewhere.

I’m sure the EU will be completely fine with Apple “highly controlling” the relationship between the user and developer after the DMA anti-trust regulation is in effect. This must be the marketing they’d like to convey to maintain an image of security.

European iPhone just got so much better.

I will move to the EU just for this.

What happens if you buy a phone in the EU but then go to the US? What happens if you get an iPhone in the US but move to an EU country? Would the 3rd party store still work?

Looking forward to the day this is made available everywhere! It’s ridiculous to geolock major features like this.

Oh boy.

Let me see the comments from the real rabid apple fanbois at ARS technica.

Those losers will downvote and cry like babies every time that someone says sideloading in ios.

lol

Finally looking forward to travelling the high seas in my big boat

Soon as you accept the agreement to sideload and endanger the security of the iphone iOS, it’ll also damage the resale market. phones with it enabled may be harder to sell on or upgrade surely?
