The EU will absolutely take issue with this. What they’ve done is beyond the scope of the law … again.
a piece of paper doesn't matter if theres no enforcement.
from the law enforcement or the implementation itself.
Its against the law after the first time
Apple and it’s policies can feck off
#1 reason I stick with PCs. Apple deciding that it knows best and deciding how users get to use their machines thanks to the Apple walled garden.
Windows would like to catch up, but thankfully you’re still free to completely break it if you want.

However, as it stands, UTM is not proceeding to contest the ruling. As apps distributed on iOS cannot use a JIT compiler (other than specially entitled alternative browser engines), the functionality and performance of the emulators running through UTM SE, the version submitted for review that had JIT disabled, was significantly impaired. UTM says getting UTM SE approved “isn’t worth fighting for”.
Oh. Well okay then.
I don't think EU will like the part about third-party stores.
@neme I like how the devs were like “eh, it’s not even that good of an app, whatever”
Yeah well because Apple doesn't allow JIT compilation, so the performance would've sucked anyway.
I’d guess Windows for Arm would perform fine though.
Not really… I have tried it before on an m1 iPad. It is not usable for any windows version. XP for example takes over 15 minutes just to boot. It takes multiple seconds for clicks to register, etc.
Linux, like Debian for example, will be much more usable, but still far from anything you would call a smooth experience.
Again, not having JIT really kills the performance here.
