I’m not sure about that. There isn’t any evidence, that I know of, of a surge in complaints. Just a surge in reporting because one person blamed the update. storage fails all the time, so complaints are naturally constant.

You’re describing pretty much every used PC in existence. It’s hard not to come to the conclusion that there is no issue and that one guy’s SSD just failed like they do

oop

Flat fines are just Laws for poor people. £165 is literally nothing to him

If sideloading wasn’t allowed, there would be no apps on the App Store If you read the links your AI provided you, you’d see they’re all confirming what I said. All of them.

Generally, common knowledge doesn’t need to be cited, so here:

https://developer.apple.com/support/dma-and-apps-in-the-eu/

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/

Also, you should probably learn what Ad Homenim is before trying to use it in a sentence https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem

The fact is, and will always be, that Apple allows sideloading on all iphones in all regions, and their limits apply even in the EU. I’m sorry if you feel like that’s a personal attack.

And to finally, to address your attempt at changing subject (because you stopped being vague and finally admitted it), Jailbreaking is not within Apples rules (the hint is in the name). Hope this helps!

I said Apple allows sideloading, you tried to correct me, and then changed your argument when you realized you were wrong. It’s just you not getting it.

Your “tools” that bypass the limitations set by apple wouldn’t even be relevant if they were real since you’re arguing with the factual statement that Apple allows you to sideload your apps, regardless of where you are in the world.

P.S. Even your links prove that you’re wrong about sideloading. Unless you’re now trying to argue there’s nothing official about governmentally mandated Apple-certified App Stores, in which case… just walk

intel didn’t for 7 years, but they started and ended that trend.

The limitations depend on which program you’re using - there’s more than one - which is why I only gave a simple example.

No it doesn’t. It’s in all the documentation, official and otherwise

Side loading is installing an app from anywhere but the official store. So by definition “third party” is side loading. Whether it’s another store or authorised is irrelevant.

You can’t just make up a definition, believe it, and then share it like it’s true. We’re going by the legal definition as that’s the only one that matters.

Apple only allows up to 3 apps or 10 appIDs to be sideloaded, wherever you are in the world. Period.

Wholly incorrect. You’re allowed to sideload up to 3 apps (or 10 appIDs, whichever comes first) without being a developer, and that arbitrary restriction is removed if you pay for a dev license, regardless of which part of the world you’re in.

In the EU you’re allowed to install third party app stores (still have to be notarized by Apple) which isn’t sideloading

Apple allows sideloading (somewhat), this is would be demonstrably worse (if enacted)

So he did nothing he’s being accused of. Did you even read the contents of the links in the comment you sent me? God you people are so tiring

You keep pretending I’m speaking with authority when asking for a source for your outlandish claims. Says more about you than me lmao

Here’s a hint: You will never come up with a source for your beliefs because you’d have to admit you’ve been played first.

It’s human to fall for it now and then. You’re amongst the majority.

I hope you get help

Imagine being given the opportunity to fact check yourself, and instead choosing to fall deeper into delusion and paranoia. I’m sorry for you

If he supports it so openly, why is there only evidence of the opposite? Do you need your meds?

Repeating it doesn’t make it true. How are you not a supporter of Russian genocidal imperialism?

Funny how, according to this article, his stance on Russia/Ukraine is “Palestine should be free”. Really concerning stuff.

This commenter is just understandably misled by the UK media’s decades-long smear campaign. He is absolutely not “a huge supporter of Putin and russian genocidal imperialism as well”, if you take a look at his history of words and actions.

I like Signal. I even got all my close friends and family on it, specifically to message me because I won’t use whatsapp. The PIN reminders are annoying it enough to be legitimately holding it back from mass appeal imho
