    This is very bad. Their walled garden is perfect for the young, elderly, and stupid.

    Hopefully some competitor arrives to replace them.

      Walled gardens are not good for anyone.

      Apple is free to sell phones where walled gardens are allowed. You’re also free to stay in the walled garden, Apple lied to you.

      If but perfect you mean perfectly exploitative, sure. The walled garden issue has nothing to do with ease of use my friend; in fact, the whole point is to do the opposite - make anything outside the wall impossibly hard to access or use.

      No one is forcing you do use apps outside of the app store. It’s about choice.

      If such a competitor emerged they’d not be able to trade in the EU, given the size of the EU economy that ain’t happening.

      It is not the walled garden that makes it easy, I mean, only because you open up doesn’t mean that your costumer still can buy only apple and it just works…
