When I can’t sideload just because I’m on the wrong side of the Atlantic I’m going to be really annoyed.
In Poland/EU we have another fate: so much features of Apple/ios/macOS just doesn’t work/come after 5-7 years from release in USA. For example that’s force me to use google Maps: cycling directions; Public transportation schedule in Apple Maps have released for my city(one of the largest In Poland) just year ago; 3d maps — hah, forget. For air quality I have to use 3rd party app too. Apple Cash? Send money through iMessages? Apple Card? And this list of lack of features that available in USA but not in Poland/Europe are kinda endless.
Yeah that is bs. I can understand that these features probably take a lot of work to build out and to ensure the proper legalities are sorted but Apple is a trillion dollar company so it really shouldn’t take them years
