Right. So, when the person bought the item, the expectation was that Apple's App Store was the only option. Now, there is an additional option, while in the the EU. So the feature set when the person bought the phone is the same, and there is now a new added ability.

That's right. Apple never dictated app operation, especially ones they officially support, via GPS before. It was completely unforseeable.

Are you the same person who was saying tough noodles, you should have accounted for this when buying the phone?

Or is someone else operating the account now?

You never had the ability to install stuff outside the App Store before, so this is really just the status quo.

100% correct. Apple never dictated app operation, especially ones they officially support, via GPS before. 100% unforseeable.

Eh. AirDrop in China.
