    They say they won’t block apps because of their content, but that they will protect users that use too much energy, which seems like a loophole for blocking emulators and alternative browsers.

      Yes, and the worst part is that this new legislation doesn’t change anything. We won’t still be able to indecently build and install applications on iOS like we do on macOS. This new store thing is essentially the same that the Enterprise was, but extended in some ways and way more expensive for companies who want to run the store.

      I hope the EU keeps pushing this, because, after all, what’s the point of having a computer in your pocket if you can’t run any software you would like? Android may do that but it’s also a mess of poorly designed system.
