    The rules are in place solely to lock in free apps to the official App Store. The EU is just going to have to tell Apple to deal with it. Apple is acting like it has to verify and sign every app that runs on its platform and therefore it justifies the fees. The EU just needs to force Apple to allow unsigned apps to run and then its not a problem.

      Anybody else their family’s tech support and glad an iPhone is a safe option when it comes to shady apps, as long as big boys are still allowed to buy Android phones?

      Wonder if it would work for Apple to sell multiple versions of the iPhone (geek & geezer).

        Without the intention to start a silly discussion about it, but it sounds like everyone in your family has an iPhone. Google Play Store is safe enough… Never had one problem in my lifetime. Whole family with android. Greetings from Europe…
