A straight 50¢ per app download is probably more than a 30% cut would be for a lot of apps. They did this intentionally so that no one actually develops a side loading app so they can say there's no market for it.

So it isn't actually sideloading. Apple must have their own dictionary, iDictionary, with their own definitions. I wonder if EU will fine Apple for this. Or maybe EU will also mix up word definitions, and will say, that Apple is fine!
But... But... That's exactly the point of sideloading! To bypass the monopoly of the OS developer. It's never enough for these corpies, is it? How are people still buying things from Apple? Are they really so willingly ignorant? I think my last purchase from them was a decade ago.
Because it's not really a problem to begin with, Apple user most of them don't really care about piracy and such, it's not really a problem as people make it to be in social media So of course, because it's not really a problem for them, they don't have a reason to not buy apple products they been buying for themselves to begin with
On my part, I hope EU will copy Apple. 0.50€ for each device produced worldwide, plus 0.50€ per device sold worldwide. Let's call it EU Core fee, like Apple. 30% tax on EU sales. They can also be eligible to 3% EU tax as long as they pay 27% tax on all sales in EU to the country of their local siege. If they don't want to use EU Core, that's fine too. They just need to negotiate with each country individually, agree to a minimum of 20% tax in each country and an additional 20% tax to EU as fee to negotiate individually. That negotiation licence will have to be renewed every 6 month on the same terms and price. They can negotiate new terms for an additional 20% per word change. Every year they will have to prove their liability to ensure employment safety. They just need to provide a bank certificate of 1 trillion dollars frozen cash. And I think every country should adopt this so they can benefit as much as Apple. Charging as much as they can for silly things. Running a country is, after all, also a business. If Apple can talk sh*t why wouldn't nations do the same to extort the same advantages ? Tat money can probably be used to alleviate individual income tax or public services.
@@starrynight3945 It's a few billion devices produced, then a few hundred millions sold. If we go the Apple way, it should be pay for every device produced, every device put on the market and a third time for each device sold.

This why I'm an android user, I get to develop android apps FOR FREE and distribute them on my websites FOR FREE. I can even use the programming tools FOR FREE to create my app. I'm so glad google actually is nice to its customers... wait, what are you doing with my data?
This is what needs to be done by more people if you want or expect apple to change anything…and honestly? That’s perfectly fine. People who like apple products, myself included, are willing to purchase their products, with their restrictions…for the most part, they work for “most” apple users and for the ones that it doesn’t work for, it makes sense for them not to buy their products. In my opinion, the governments of any country, should NOT be involved in this…it has nothing to do with them. This is a “does the consumer like it or not” thing, not a “well, we want to have an apple phone or device, therefore we want it to work the way I want it to” thing… If you don’t like it, don’t buy it. It’s a very VERY simple concept and in my opinion, more people should be like you in voicing their opinions in the correct way. Let the government do their job instead of dictating to other people what they want. They have too much control of things as it is.
Apple: Sure, we'll let your customers download your app from your own website. Developers: Really? Thanks Apple: Pay us 50 cents for every app download. Developers: The fu- Apple is trying so hard to encourage customers and developers to change towards android. It's absolutely hilarious lol.

Apple users do not care. I've explained their behaviour in simple details to educated people and it makes no difference to them. I always relate that that kind of behaviour from a friend or partner (mine being one of these users) and they wouldn't accept it from me or other humans.

Not to mention the nightmare of actually compiling the thing thru Xcode (which, as mentioned, has to be done on a Mac. And in particular a Mac that can run the newest version of Xcode, so nothing more than a few years old.) They’re beyond ridiculous.
Wow apple really made a giant legal loop just to circumvent the EU laws
The one and only way to get freedom is jailbreak from ios
Sounds like they found some loopholes in the restrictions.
That’s also the reason why I’ll leave apple, every app that I want is payable, even adobe reader. And I wanted to buy even mac as laptop, can’t imagine how much money/year for basic programms.
It’s just like the pander stone from South Park
EU should force same regulation onto Switch, PS5 and xbox x one.
