In relation to the FAQ question "Will the affect you if you don't have an iOS device?"

I think the answer is might, probably should, and likely will. Enough apps are cross-platform or share backend code that developers "forced" to include "Sign in with Apple" on iOS may just include it across all their apps/sites. (Especially because they will want iOS users to be able to access their information from desktop browsers.)

It might be a rising tide that lifts all boats in that sense. Especially if Apple keeps their part of the bargain, it might even make sense for non-Apple device users to sign up for an Apple Account/iCloud just to use "Sign in with Apple".

I think that's an interesting question not enough people are thinking about yet.


This is what I'm hoping, that the Apple sign in and the user privacy features it provides will raise the bar for consumers, and eventually every consumer IDP will be expected to offer these protections and control.
