​🚀 Unlimited Data For $25​

Hey,

You know how Apple likes to lock literally everything down, so that you cannot do anything outside of its ecosystem?

You cannot delete core apps, like Safari. And you cannot set your own default apps for things like navigation. It's annoying, right?

In the EU, all of this is about to change – and it is a massive deal, both for Apple and its users.

Here's what you need to know

​How The EU Plans To Dismantle Apple’s Walled Garden​

• By the end of 2024, EU-based iPhone users will be able to uninstall the Safari browser and change the default navigation app on their devices, providing more flexibility in choosing preferred applications.
• Apple is developing a user-friendly way to transfer data from iPhones to non-Apple phones, targeted for completion by fall 2025, making it easier for users to switch mobile ecosystems without losing important information.
• The company is also introducing a browser switching solution to facilitate data transfer between different web browsers on the same device, expected to be available by late 2024 or early 2025.
• While the changes are initially focused on complying with the EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA), they may potentially be implemented globally.
• The planned phone data transfer feature aims to improve upon existing tools by addressing gaps in the migration process, including transferring data types like paid apps and Safari bookmarks.
