Being restricted to only the iPhone, not e.g. the iPad those liberations are all pretty useless if you are invested in the ecosystem.

Well, yeah, but most heavy Apple users can love with iPhone and Macs, I guess.

This is the first I hear about the changes being iPhone-only, where did you read they are not coming to iPad?

edit: ah looks like some 4y ago Apple switched to a separate iPadOS. Used to be that iOS was both for phones and tablets.

Here they say the most interesting stuff is basically all iPhone-only https://www.macrumors.com/2024/01/26/apple-eu-app-ecosystem-tidbits/

Yeah the Apple doc is all about iOS, not mentioning iPhone or iPad, which made it non-obvious. Especially since both products used to run iOS in the past.

Not being on iPad is not useless. It will just hurt the iPad platform, not the other way around. Nobody really cares that much about it except some niche creative products anyway.
