Apple announces changes to iOS, Safari, and the App Store in the European Union

It looks like updates can count as a first annual install:

A first annual install may result from an app’s first-time install, a reinstall, or an update from any iOS app distribution option — including the App Store, an alternative app marketplace, TestFlight, an App Clip, volume purchases through Apple Business Manager and Apple School Manager, and/or a custom app.

However, there's extra mumbo jumbo about "it doesn't count for 12 months after a first install is counted. But the next one after starts a new first annual install."

So it's essentially some kind of twisted Orange County MLM logic.

Are you referring to something specific here? Does Orange County have some stereotyped association with MLM schemes or something? (I'm genuinely asking as that would be hilarious and I'd love to learn more)

Orange county is stereotypically a hotbed of MLM scams. Stay in a hotel there sometime and half the conference rooms will likely be booked by one or another.

I've lived in the OC for the majority of my life and honestly just never thought about it. ^.^

I’m from OC I didn’t know this was our stereotype but I’ve been pitched a bunch of MLM schemes when I was younger. I thought this was all over the place. However I haven’t been pitched anything since at least 10 years ago. Maybe I don’t look like I have a sphere of influence anymore lol

Yes - bored housewives and money obsession.

Is this Orange County, California? Or Orange County, Florida? Or some other Orange County?

I'm from Orange County, California, and it's hardly a center of the MLM universe.

Honestly, if it's the center of anything like that, it's drug and alcohol rehabs.
