Boy, big copros sure hate when they are treated like everyone else.
Man, fuck all apple products. I hate having to develop for them.
Never used whatever web apps. Don’t even know what they are. Don’t care.
My, my. Color me impressed: they chose the most inconvenient way to start implementing EU’s requirements. I mean, webapps’ underlying browser was nobody’s issue really. You don’t even see the browser when using a webapp. They could have simply used safari for this feature alone, I don’t think this would have spelled a regulations breach.
Apple is acting like spoiled kid. A completely spoiled and bratty kid
hopefully this will cause less people to buy iPhones so we all win
Weird, I can add a website to home screen with Firefox on Android and it opens like an app (with its own icon and without any browser’s chrome (UI))…
Apple, obviously can’t implement this very difficult feature… /s
the solution is simple, stop buying Apple products and they will need to reconsider their strategy

Keep complaining, Apple CFO reminded investors that the EU makes up only 7% of their revenues. So if the EU keeps piling on crap legislation like this, eventually it will just be cheaper to get out of Europe altogether.
For the love god, people, read the complete article from top to bottom before commenting here…
Honestly didn’t even know this was a feature or one that I would really need so… eh. Okay. Sad I guess.
I’m not tech savvy enough to say whether their response was truthful or honest. Probably not 100% but overall I have liked Apple’s stance on security compared to Android.
Maybe they should just remove apps altogether then, since they also said previously that they cannot assure quality for sideladed apps
“progressive” webapps never caught on in a big way anyway, nothing of value was lost. That said, still a malicious compliance kind of move, Apple makes me proud to stand by its principles 😂
Will this change even be noticable? Honestly thought these apps were a thing of the past. Does anyone have an example of an app that still see widespread usage?
Apple have been very “karen” about the DMA at every step. I know a huge amount of revenue is involved but history shows that often capitalism with regulation creates new possibilities. They should embrace it instead of pulling the victim card at every point.
“*Because fuck you that’s why*” – Apple
Strangely enough, on an android device I can use my browser of choice (Firefox) to run home screen web apps with no issues whatsoever. Somehow, the most valued company on earth is incapable of making this work with 3rd party browsers. And somehow, something tells me that I need to consider getting an Android after my iPhone will stop being supported by iOS this September.
>here’s why
Because it’s Apple, and Apple is a greedy shithole that would sell you your own grandma if they could.
Couldn’t they just add a feature for the user to confirm that they don’t care about EU centralized mandates and would rather very much keep iOS as is?

What even is a Home Screen web app?
