Für iPhone-User in der EU ist die Situation damit jedenfalls ziemlich unerfreulich. Apple preist die neue Hardwaregeneration vor allem mit dem Versprechen auf Features an, die es hierzulande gar nicht gibt, und eben auch nicht so schnell geben wird

Whining about stuff is a treasured American pastime, so allow me to indulge: the iPhone is more fun in Europe now, and it’s not fair.

They’re getting all kinds of stuff because they have cool regulators, not, like, regular regulators. Third-party app stores, the ability for browsers to run their own engines, Fortnite, and now the ability to replace lots of default apps? I want it, too! Imagine if Chrome on iOS wasn’t just a rinky dink little Safari emulator! Imagine downloading a new dialer app with a soundboard of fart sounds and setting it as your default! Unfortunately, Apple doesn’t seem interested in sharing these possibilities with everyone.
