The Federal Regional Court of the 1st Region (TRF-1) has overturned a trial ruling and reinstated an injunction imposed by the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (Cade) on Apple, as part of an investigation into alleged abuse of dominant position in the app distribution market for iOS devices. According to the ruling, the company will have 90 days to implement the changes mandated by the antitrust authority.

      More freedom would be to choose the phone you want and sideload whatever you want to it.

          This is how brain-broken capitalism has made people… The concept of an effective government actually regulating a company and forcing them to spend more money to do the thing they should be doing is just completely foreign to you.

      That’s the whole point, to force iPhone to also have freedom.

      Android is becoming less free every year; the more Apple gets away with, the closer Android/Google will drift towards it.

      “iPhone vs Android” is the wrong battle

      It’s “Us & Gov. vs Apple & Google & Gov”

          What’s the problem? Should those features only be available to people who know about jailbreaking? It seems like the pressure caused Apple to actually spend some money to add useful features that people obviously wanted. What’s the bad thing here?

          Didn’t jailbreaking pretty much die because apple made it really hard?
