Just a reminder to everybody supporting government overreach, while you’re enjoying your third party apps the EU is making moves to destroy your privacy:

Have the phone boot into a “custom apps mode” where the only app you have is basic sms texting and phone (basically the minimum to call it a smartphone). Only allow custom apps to run in this mode.

People still have the ‘freedom to do whatever they want with their own hardware’, but they don’t get to demand that Apple supports that freedom with the full iOS software.

This would be an excellent solution to the EU overreach.

A change in the design language of 1st party apps to eliminate pop-ups (which will hopefully encourage 3rd party apps to follow).

I’m ridiculously tired of opening apps, and they need to do a little animation to tell me about some new feature, or to ask for a rating, etc. Popups are a horrid user experience and Apple needs to lead the way towards getting rid of them.

Don’t buy the base model if you need more?
