Call me a doomer but with 17 years of entrenchment and no corporate buyin iOS will never be fully interoperable. The DMA is great but it’s the sum of a bazillion little things that makes a product feel at home. Death by a thousand cuts.

Like the now playing widget has a separate icon for AirPods. Only Apple Maps is able to stay open when you lock your phone. HDR in HEIC is completely undocumented so every photo editing app fucks it up. The list goes on and on.

I do wonder about the interoperability request form. Why haven’t all these little cuts been fixed? Does it involve a lot of legalese so only big corps can afford it? Is the scope too small? Does Apple reject things overzealously? Surely if it was easy the indies would’ve requested everything by now
