    Is it a third-party app store if Apple decides what it’s allowed to offer?

      The EU will absolutely take issue with this. What they’ve done is beyond the scope of the law … again.

              Ya, but the community is literally called apple enthusiast. You don’t sound like an enthusiast if you hate the brand and don’t use it.

                It is possible I think to enjoy a company’s products without defending everything the company does, especially not the things that benefit the company at the expense of the owners of said products

                You can be an enthusiast and still be able to criticise. Apple has changed a lot over the years, and not always for the better.

            Nobody cares who you block. Go ahead and block me. I used to have plenty of apple stuff in the past and have none now because they charge a premium for something that they barely change with each “new” iphone that comes out.

        I thought it was “it’s” as it’s a possessive apostrophe?

        The policies are Apple’s, so it’s would be an appropriate substitution, no?

          No, the possessive apostrophe doesn’t apply to possessive pronouns. Apostrophes in pronouns are for abbreviations (like “he is” becomes “he’s” and “it is” becomes “it’s”)

      #1 reason I stick with PCs. Apple deciding that it knows best and deciding how users get to use their machines thanks to the Apple walled garden.

      Windows would like to catch up, but thankfully you’re still free to completely break it if you want.

    However, as it stands, UTM is not proceeding to contest the ruling. As apps distributed on iOS cannot use a JIT compiler (other than specially entitled alternative browser engines), the functionality and performance of the emulators running through UTM SE, the version submitted for review that had JIT disabled, was significantly impaired. UTM says getting UTM SE approved “isn’t worth fighting for”.

    Oh. Well okay then.

      Yeah well because Apple doesn’t allow JIT compilation, so the performance would’ve sucked anyway.

        I’d guess Windows for Arm would perform fine though.

          Not really… I have tried it before on an m1 iPad. It is not usable for any windows version. XP for example takes over 15 minutes just to boot. It takes multiple seconds for clicks to register, etc.

          Linux, like Debian for example, will be much more usable, but still far from anything you would call a smooth experience.

          Again, not having JIT really kills the performance here.

              Because ARM is not the same as ARM. Windows arm does not natively run on an Apple M1 Processor and MacOS does not run on a raspberry pi.

              because its not about jit per se, its about marking pages of memory as executable. doesn’t matter whether you compile it or load it from disk, you need to mark the memory as executable so the cpu will run it, and that isnt something “normal” ios apps are allowed to do.
