The problem Apple's walled garden is that they don't mainly use criminal law but technology to protect it. Nothing really keeps you from legally jail breaking your iphone, but it's a painful process and staying up-to-date is a constant cat and mouse game with iOS devs.

Only competition law can force them to open up properly.




> Apple's walled garden

Lol repeating Apple marketing in plain sight.

There is no garden, its a prison.

"Garden" is marketing jargon to beautify the reality of things.

Think of the word Garden, fruits, vegetables, flowers. That word was specifically chosen by their marketing team for a reason.

The reality is that Apple has dictator-style control and the ability to ban/punish people with no oversight. "Garden"...yeah words paint prettier pictures than reality if you let them.
