Hi 👋 just shared the site with one of my buddies and he told me he doesn’t care much about it because there’s no way you’ll be 100% privacy enforced since you’re using an iPhone and sharing your location, name, birthdate , personal files, photos.
I’ve to say this gets to me but on the other side I’m also respectful of everyone‘s opinion because after all, this is what makes us special
How are you handling these circumstances usually, do you say something?
No they don’t. More like 5%. What % of Apple apps require Apple services?

Apple takes 30%
Google gets 0% of income of apps installed outside of the Google Play Store.
My 5% was referring to Google Play Services dependency.
and what % of apps are installed outside of the Google Play Store…?
They push warning messages all over the OS to deter users from doing that…
Why does that matter? The point is you can do it. Personally 100% of mine are installed that way using Aurora, Obtainium, Droidify or Accrescent. Android allows you that freedom and always has, Apple fights vigilantly to ensure you never have that choice.
They are not “all over the OS”. There is a pop-up message that asks you if you want to allow the app to be used as an installer. That’s it.
If the point is that you can do it, then yea, you can also sideload apps on iOS. It’s an immense pain, limited to X apps, but you can, and you could technically pay with 0% fee…
iirc there was more but alright
If you actually look into this, you really can’t. Yes, you can install alternative app stores but they still require Apple’s stamp of approval, they still require an Apple developer account, along with $100/yr subscriptions, and they still require “only” 27% cut of revenue, and all of that is only available in the EU.
That’s not the only way. You can sideload unapproved apps.
Literally never seen that before but I assume you have to break the OS to do it.
