How about not having different app stores for every region?
How is that supposed to help? Should apple remove these Apps globally then? Not that governments would stop pressuring to censor.
The real answer is to let people load apps from outside of the App Store.
If you’re going to run an AppStore, you’re going to be subject to the laws of every country, and you’ll have to segment it by region.

Yes!
This has been possible for awhile now
Better not having different regions at all.
Yeah!!! Hold everyone accountable to everyone’s rules! You can only get it if literally nobody has a problem with it.
Yeah that sounds great, you’re a real genius
So all the shit banned in China, North Korea, etc. we lose it too then? You fucking moron
I see from your post history, it’s full of great comments. Not sure why your reaction here was so harsh. I hope your day is going okay.
Perhaps I wasn’t clear. I meant have one app store and ignore those governments who want to ban apps.
Also, being able to directly load apps on your devices is way better anyway.
Classic stuff, Apple. While I can wrap my head around them sucking off China since that is where all their child labor factories are, playing ball with Russia shows who they are. Glad I switched to an open source OS for my phone.
shows who they are.
A corporation. And when corporations have to make a choice, profit will always come first.
Yeah but sometimes it also feels like they wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire either tho lol just because
Oh no… They WOULD piss on you. Just not to help put out the fire.
There’s no child labour factories in China, this is just racism. The child labour is in the USA.
Is that a seal of approval?
Who the fuck is affording iphones in Russia
They shouldn’t cater to fascist mass murderers. Let the russian ppl be pissed pooty pants took away their apples
Apple pulled out of the country after the invasion of Ukraine, but they left the AppStore up for people with existing hardware. Since they have a walled garden, if they kill the AppStore, they would also be killing access to things that Russian dissenters and refugees would need access to.
The walled garden needs to be destroyed. Compute devices should not be bound to the whims and fancies of their manufacturer. I’m honestly surprised it has gone on so long.
Excuse me??? If not the manufacturer then who? The government???
The walled garden absolutely should not be destroyed because it’s owned by a private company and they see said walled garden as a way to protect their users from scams that plague many android stores.
The compute devices are not bound the whims and fancies of the manufacturer at all, the software made available on the company’s own servers are what is bound to their whims, and rightly so because it’s THEIRS and they’re a PRIVATE COMPANY.
You cannot simply force a company to do what you want simply because you don’t like what they do not allow on their own private store.
Do you think we should force every other goddamn store in America to sell whatever the gov says they should? Or maybe we should leave that to those that own the store.
You’re not forced to use that store, if you don’t like it fuck off.
“Walled garden needs to be destroyed” you’re advocating for a fascist takeover, Apple can remove literally anything they want because it’s their fucking goddamn store. That fact does not mean the “walled garden” should be destroyed, Jesus fucking Christ. Who upvotes these literal brain dead comments
For that they can buy an android for 150$. If they expected protection from Apple,that’s on them.
Buy a cheap android burner and profit from side loading and alternative app stores. Simple,yes?
So you want apple to stop its AppStore in Russia but android phones and alternative stores should still be operational there?
They can’t keep it straight with the blind “Apple bad” circlejerk
You can side load all day on any iOS device
