This is **great** news. Hopefully other countries including Canada will follow suit and will force #Apple to allow 3rd party app stores everywhere. Apple will have to compete on merits then. Some Apple fans are saying they like Apple's walled garden because it protects them. Well, it does not. They allow scams that bilk people of millions. And Apple refuses to address the problem because these scams are making them money.

while #Apple removed the scammy apps mentioned on that Verge article I linked because of the publicity they have nor addressed the underlying problems and plenty of similar apps are still in the App Store. Here is one I stumbled upon myself in October. It's still in the Canadian App store and has been for years. And near the top of the list when you search for scanner apps which is how I found it.
