What a dumb (and weak) argument…
Lawyers gonna lawyer
Apples are naturally seedy
Gotta use what you have.
I guess lawyers salary often can be considered compensation for suffering through the bullshit their clients send them through.
From a coding perspective, they are all quite distinct. However, I don't doubt they were using that argument just to weasel out of getting regulated
I would argue that iPadOS Safari and iOS Safari are not really that different though.
from a coding perspective
That’s what I mean, would you say iPadOS Safari and iOS Safari don’t share a good chunk of their codebase?
The vast majority of the code is WebKit, which is the same across platforms. The UI is a small amount of code compared to WebKit, and even then I’m sure there is a lot of sharing between the iOS and iPadOS versions.
