Unbelievable. I wonder how many bricked iPhones we’ll hear about after this. https://9to5mac.com/2022/12/13/apple-alternative-app-stores-iphone/
@SandyKendell One can only hope that the people who would brick their phones are the ones who will never figure out how to install an app outside of the App Store. (Yes, I’m talking about my mother.)
@SandyKendell @AlliFlowers Let's hope there'll be a quarantined section for third party #Apple store apps, so we can choose which part of the garden to visit.
@AlliFlowers all Apples fault too, of course.
@donkey How so?
@AlliFlowers just that the Internet will blame Apple for the bricked phones caused by the shenanigans of other stores. They won’t be able to win.
@donkey “The internet” has plenty of blame to throw around, and usually poorly placed.
@AlliFlowers completely agree!
@AlliFlowers Bricked? I would be surprised. iOS has the same sealed system partition Mac does, only even more locked down. Probably a reason they are even considering it.
@nycturne I guess time will tell.
@AlliFlowers Too bad. One of the reasons I choose iOS is because of the app screening done for the Apple App Store. #iOS #Apple
