It's going to be interesting for possible iphone imports.

Is there anything in this ruling that prevents Apple from charging for unlocking the sideload capability? Or selling a iOS 17 Lockdown Edition vs iOS 17 Sideload edition phone at different prices? Or charging extra fees at the Genius bar if you've got a phone that has been sideloaded? Just looking at Apple's angles here.

The regular App Store comes to the US, the new and separate App Store does not.
That’s the only difference.

Looking forward to a Firefox with extension browsing in-app, rather than an awkward tacked on system of apps that hook into Safari that are difficult to find.

I wonder if apps will be able to run their own software cores instead of being shells forced to run on iOS's cores. Browsers, keyboards, etc all offer a worse experience than on Android as it stands. I think there's more chance of browsers than keyboards, which is at least something.

EU = dingy back street app market
RoW = App Store

I wonder if VPN can resolve that?

Might work but you’d still be limited by the region of your payment method, which would limit the benefit you’d get out of it.

It’s going to be weird when plenty of apps in EU will offer integrated payments (since they won’t need to pay the 30% commission) but not in the rest of the world.

Doubt it. The phone itself would likely reject installation.

I imagine that the hardware will be the same, but the firmware will be different in Europe. Just enough to allow side loading there and not anywhere else.
