Dark Reality of Apple’s Sideloading update, AltStore & Delta Emulator

[MobiusGT]

You're blaming the EU but the actual issue is Apple

[oxtune]

Lmfao, charging for sideloading is a massive insult. No, it's not normal

[LookzA]

EU needs to go harder on apple and stop them from charging sideloading an app. So stupid

[IsoMacintosh]

Few points.
EU did not decide on the garbage fees, it was apples doing and it is still possible EU will demand changes to those.
While emulators are a big draw for side loading it's not the only use case, tablets and even phones are quite well suited for playing/reading visual novels but because many good visual novels are 18+ they are not allowed on the app store, sideloading allows those too.

Fanboys still defend this garbage company wtf

[kidscape]

I totally agree with this, I was shocked when I found out altstore pal wouldnt let you sideload ipa's yourself. Apple remains a company I continue to hate. They make good phones but then restricts the phones to do a lot of things

Literally the only 3rd party apps worthwhile are emulators & Apple has outsmarted them

[ilmansalt]

Thank you for informing! I was wondering why people said Altstore PAL sucks.

[blackopsplayer]

I’m not even surprised, it’s like everytime apple gets the chance to do something good for apple users they always add something that ruins it

[man-vdzx]

me with 7 different apple IDs from different continents made years ago: sideload my ass👌🏼

[elmarcentral]

I think in this case it's Apple to blame, with their ridiculous fees and limitations.

[Carxstreetaccounts]

We here in the United States wish we had sideloading capabilities with iOS 17.5.1

[mr.cringe]

This is exactly what I am saying. Though I don’t think the EU is directly responsible for it. I’m sure they didn’t except this solution by Apple or this solution by AltStore.

[krystiankur]

Apple does it as a campaign. It’s purposefully bad. They did all they could not to comply with the regulations. And now they have to make it as bad as possible, allowing emulators was a brilliant move on their part. They somehow levelled the field and will either win the monopoly as a marketplace or will lose big time.

[plows]

I feel Apple’s decision to add emulators to the AppStore was partly to cause a situation like this. I disagree that AltStore PAL shouldn’t exist. Apple shouldn’t be able to demand fees from a third party store in the first place which is the reason it has a cost attached to it. Third party stores have potential that is being deliberately sabotaged by Apple and their malicious compliance.

your ability to keep the content fresh and exciting is incredible! ️

I paid the 1, 50€ to see the development within the year, I cancelled the subscription already though so I'm not paying for a second year. Thankfully I also have an US AppStore account.

[redjazzjrSRM]

When Apple starts losing costumers you'll notice they'll start changing

[oOmrmusicOo]

thats why EU will not expect this and apple have to change again u will see it xD

[Denotum]

Apple will eventually suffer for this…
