As Apple introduces the browser-choice option with the iOS 17.4 update, let's navigate its implications.
Setting up a new iPhone in Europe? Prepare to be greeted by an unfamiliar screen: A prompt to select a default browser apart from Safari. A list of 12 randomized contenders awaits your selection, based on Apple's configuration requirements and popularity in the country.
Exciting? Perhaps. But it's not without criticisms. Developers argue that the limited browser information compromises user decisions. And why the prompt only when Safari is launched?
Comparatively, Google prompts Android users to choose a default browser during setup- an approach some find more user-friendly.
Long term, will Apple's choice screen foster growth for alternative browsers? Early surges in downloads warrant cautious optimism. But it's too soon to call.
Regulatory-wise, this marks a response to the Digital Markets Act, aimed at promoting internet competition. How compliant Apple, Google, and Meta are, remains under scrutiny by the European Commission.
???????? ???? ?????? ??????????: Is this a step towards genuine competition or merely a compliance maneuver.
