iPhones in the EU get ability to set more default apps, delete more built-in ones (m.gsmarena.com)

I don't expect most iPhone users to ever change their default settings, but it's nice that it will be possible in a year.

Who knows, maybe one day you can run actual Firefox on them too? :p

AFAIK, browser choice is still limited (as usual with Apple) because every browser on iOS needs to use Apple's WebKit engine. That means they only differ in UI.

You could, in the EU. But as the EU is only a small portion of the market (Apple did not succeed as much with brainwashing here), Mozilla said it would be too costly to literally recreate FF from scratch for iOS, only for the EU market.

Ah... Yet another half-assed middle finger from Apple. What a truly dogshit company.

I’d love to be able to delete iTunes from the Apple TV OS. How long has that been?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

itunes has been gone for like 5 years.
