UK government's battle with Apple over EU citizens app

This strikes me as an extreme form of premature optimization.

This seems like the sort of thing that should be rolled out to council offices, the Post Office, somewhere like that (libraries, as stated in the post).

Or (and!) airports (they already have the infrastructure!).

Let's maybe not spend 1.5 million per device though. That's something like 10-30 software dev salaries, per location. Graft?

The Home Office has also signed a £91m contract with French company Sopra Steria to set up computer terminals at 56 local libraries around the UK to help those without smartphones, or without the necessary digital skills, to apply to stay in the UK.
