About 90% of my apps from fdroid. A Foss store that will do they're best to ensure no anti or invasive features break through to my phone. I am certain that apple will have a similar store.

Yeah, I'll even go as far as to say that because F-Droid apps are usually not for profit you get actually good apps without ads or trying to sell you anything.

They're just an app that some dude found they needed and developed, and then made available for everyone else.

This is the most jarring difference I find when I go to the App Store, so a FOSS repository for iOS would be so huge.

And I’m sure of that. Suffice to say it doesn’t matter because Apple’s walled garden allowed the Gov’s invasive app regardless.

Just to be clear: it doesn’t matter because the walled garden sucked and didn’t work and I don’t mind a third party store anymore.
