Samsung announced on Monday evening that it will host a livestreamed Galaxy Unpacked event on September 4, strategically positioning itself just five days ahead of Apple’s highly anticipated iPhone 17 event on September 9.
The virtual event, scheduled for 5:30 a.m. ET (2:30 a.m. PT), will stream live on Samsung.com and the company’s YouTube channel, according to an official Samsung announcement. The timing appears deliberate, as Samsung seeks to capture attention before Apple’s traditional fall product launch window
Nope you cant download or update a single app without an account because many features like the app store requires and account.
So you paid 1000 usd for a calculator and a phone call machine? Oh wait there’s no actual calculator either.
Bro, what sort of hate-train are you on?
You can dislike the iPhone, that’s totally cool and your prerogative. But making up lies just looks silly.
You can’t install or update a single app on a google play protected phone without an account either, and now that sideloading is getting locked down your options are even fewer. And what’s this nonsense about no calculator? The iPhone has had a calculator since 2007.
You can literally download any apk and install it in seconds. You can also install any app store like f-droid and install free software.
I really dont understand your corporate loyalty - is Apple paying you?
You ARE making shit up though. Is Samsung paying YOU?
What did I say that is not true?
You actually can’t anymore. Let it go my dude.

Its not in effect yet and you will still be able if the developer of the app signs the app with their verified email which is 99% of the apps. You can also just disable Google Play protect. I’m a dev and poke ADB every day for security tests.
Don’t get me wrong it’s still very bad news but Apple’s side is infinitely worse.
