This doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. Google also makes a lot off their apps and circumvents the App Store. Airbnb too. Apple is doing what it thinks is best for its customers. Perhaps people will pick iPhones over Android due to Apples strength with privacy.

Google pays Apple billions to be the default search engine for iphone. They've paid their way into good graces.

Privacy on iPhone, that's a laugh! The only company ever to ship phones with an automated, unverifiable on-device scanning/reporting to authorities system. As we know, CSAM is just to get the foot in the door, of course.

Fuck Apple and their locked-down consumer hostile disposable garbage, and while we're at it, fuck Facebook for just about everything they do. I have no need for either of those garbage companies.

Nitpick but so far this hasn’t shipped.
