Just as a follow-up question: did you try at first to only log out of your App Store Apple ID and log in with the German one, before logging out of your iCloud Apple ID completely? And was only changing the App Store Apple ID not enough?

No I did not try that. Logging into the app store wiht my german ID is enough to switch it also. Doesn't have to be the ID set in the phone settings.

Nice! Thanks for this

edit: what’s odd is that this worked on my iPhone, but not my iPad. Maybe it’s because I logged in Fully with my European Apple ID on my phone and then back again, but did not on my iPad. And the only reason it works when I log back in through the Apple Store is because of the grace period.

DMA was mainly put in place for businesses to have a fair chance against big players, that (us) end users have anything from it is just a side effect.

Let’s see how long it will take for the first Chromium Browser to actually arrive. I personally wouldn’t even bother since it’s EU only and not for iPad either

Apple retreats in Epic feud, allows Fortnite return in EU

(Reuters) -Under pressure from European regulators, Apple took a step back in its feud with Epic Games on Friday, clearing the way for Epic to put its own game store on iPhones and iPads in Europe. Earlier this week, Apple had taken steps to block Epic from starting up a store and bringing back...

They changed their stance on Epic feud.

Not surprised.

There’s been so many months that companies knew sideloading was coming and 1 week following the release of 17.4 not a single developer has released an app outside of app store… what are they waiting for?

Apple’s so called “user-protective” conditions made sure it is as awkward for developers as possible, that is why.

Would this have meant people would have been able to get around the Bitcoin ban?

Will this mean we'll be able to use Newpipe and avoid the adverts you get on paid YouTube?
