Jiří Filip Many Apple users cannot come up with the European Union's name due to the fact that recently we hear more and more often in connection with it that Apple is dictating how it should do things. However, if we set aside the fact that ordering private companies how to do business is rather strange on the part of the state, or rather the community of states, it can almost be said that the EU's pressure on Apple is a big positive for ordinary users.

While there is still some debate about the use of USB-C in iPhones instead of Lightning, mainly around the usability of the port in this day and age in combination with durability, the EU's plans to open up the system to developers are certainly not out of the question. As a result, we should expect an imaginary revolution in browsers, which will no longer need to be based on webkit, but also an influx of many new applications, as alternative App Stories should also be available. However, if you think that they will be weeded with software ballast, which will also be somewhat dangerous for iOS, you are wrong. Some of that ballast will certainly arrive, but on the other hand, a number of major software players, led by Microsoft, have already announced that they are preparing their alternative stores with applications for iOS, while Microsoft wants to use this opportunity to more conveniently play Xbox games on iPhones. You can already stream them via the cloud, but only via a web application, which is not such a convenient solution. So users will definitely benefit in this direction from the need to open the system more.

Vratislav Holub Someone may object that if users lack the possibility to install more applications or better experience in browsers, they can switch to Android. However, it is necessary to realize that the options that the EU wants to "stomp" on Apple are not, as a result, a complete approximation of its system to Android, but on the contrary, an expansion of its options on existing bases. After all, the application will continue to run in sandboxes for maximum security, and as a result, everything we are used to at Apple will continue to be available, but expanded by other things. Personally, I would not be afraid of a future governed to some extent by the European Union.
It could be such a wonderful software, if they could say without you, we are withdrawing from sales somewhere, if you want, order an iPhone, you need to come from the USA
I agree, this installation of Brussels in everything is not always positive. If I want an Android, I'll get an Android. I have an Apple because it is the way it is and it works the way it works. What, for example, will be the alternative story situations when a stronger company such as Microsoft says that it will only have its app on its store and will not put them in the Apple store. Will I have to use it for others? Or will it be sharpened? Every "good" step can be a small step to hell. And it generally works the same for everything. Ted store and browse. Then the end of the sandbox, then other things? The system is the same, don't say that it can't be accepted within the framework of some higher good for whatever reason.
