In the dispute “Android or iOS” in favor of the first, the possibility of choice is often recorded. This includes what the system looks like or what applications are started by default for some actions. In the case of “Apple” operating company, it is necessary to reconcile with many restrictions and often use what Apple itself offers. But if the latest rumors are believed, this may soon change.
As Hufnews reports, Apple is considering whether to let users choose third-party web browser and mail applications as their default options . Now on iOS devices, any link opens in the Safari branded browser, while on Android you can configure the main application for any action. According to journalists, so far we are only talking about browsers and email clients – some of the most commonly used applications.
The report also says that the company is studying the possibility of choosing a standard music service for the HomePod speaker. Now users have to say Siri each time the name of the desired application, if they want to listen to music not from Apple Music. It is assumed that the impetus for this could be the last year’s complaint by Spotify to the anti-monopoly service of the European Union.
It is important to note that all information is based on rumors and there is no official confirmation of it.
