Apple to allow outside app stores in overhaul spurred by EU laws

Apple can sell "walled" phones in US. so FB/Google will have no choice but continue to do business with the Apple Store. So US citizens should have no reasons to plain that EU is forcing them to have choices.

You also need to look passed the FUD and see that you have Android and you can't find a good example that you are forced to install a third party store to get some must have application. Geeks would unlock their phones and some apps might offer a cheaper version on a third party store forcing Apple to compete.

If you could also replace Siri with a better assistant you might even get Apple putting some work in their apps and improve Siri. Either way custoemrs will gain a better voice assistant if there will be fair competition.

This is actually part of the law. Apple have to allow 3rd party voice assistants.

Great. now let\s see Apple fanboys explain to us that competition with Siri is bad, and if you want good voice assistant in your language you should buy something else.
