The news is replete with how the EU slowly but surely, one by one, forces
Apple to do what every decent company has already done in terms of app
stores (e.g., Microsoft & Google have always allowed alternative repos).
 Now, finally, Apple is allowing its customer base that basic decency;
however, all the news says is that the EU forced Apple to be decent.
  *Apple Will Make Alternative App Marketplaces and Browser Engines Available on the iPad in the EU Starting Monday*

   "You may recall that in April, the European Commission has added
    iPadOS to the products and services subject to the Digital Markets
    Act (DMA). Before then, the DMA only applied to the iPhone, meaning
    that, if you live in the EU, changes to iOS, like browser default
    choices and alternative app marketplaces, are currently only
    available on your iPhone. That changes on Monday"
     *Update on iPadOS 18 apps distributed in the European Union*
      <https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=4sn7e783>>
     "Starting September 16:
      Users in the EU can download iPadOS apps on the App Store
      and through alternative distribution...
      Alternative browser engines can be used in iPadOS apps."
 As of Brexit, the UK is not formally in the EU - but that's a political
boundary (where the border-free Schengen Area is another such boundary).
 My question, which those in the UK may be able to answer from experience,
is whether or not Apple extends common decencies forced upon it to the UK?
 Do they?
Well it has happened with the micro USB that is now the power connector for most phones outside Apple, so.......
