The directive is the latest step in Beijing’s campaign to cut reliance on foreign technology and could hurt Apple’s business in the country.

    Android is open source. Apple’s stuff is not. Privacy and closed source can not be in the same sentence.

    You can at least customize Android to get rid of offending stuff. You can’t even pick your web browser on Apple.

      You can pick your web browser on apple devices, nice uninformed claim.

        Not really though you have to use their rendering engine.

        Apple does not allow for any real difference in browsers: https://www.theregister.com/2023/02/07/mozilla_google_apple_webkit/ You have to use apple’s WebKit engine. It’s essentially Safari with a slightly modfied skin.

        Stop spreading misinformation.

          As I agree about the fact that the engine is WebKit for any browser, that was not the point you made, I did not spread misinformation. My claim is still true, you can choose your default browser, however you cannot choose a browser with an engine other than WebKit

          FYI, WebKit is open source.

            You also can’t have plugins. It’s very limited and a shit policy. Apple should get broken up just for this.
