This is exactly the thinking that Apple doesn't want going into App Store apps: "I'll just put up this good-enough piece of crap because that's all I have time/money to do." They've got a ton of businesses wanting to be on iPhone so they're willing to lose those businesses that will only put out crap. I agree with you that putting out a piece of crap might make the most sense for your business. But it's not what Apple wants for its platform.
A key thing to understand here: the existence of a platform controlled in this way increases diversity, since there are several other prospering platforms that do things differently.
- confuzatron 17y agoApple don't want crap apps in the appstore? Have you /seen/ the appstore? I'm sorry, but the undiluted denial-of-reality from the more extreme Apple apologists is making me dizzy.
- MWinther 17y agoI'd say that now that Apple has plenty of volume in the app store, they're focusing more on quality. I imagine they want to implement higher standards at a rate that still makes the number of apps grow. Like when they removed a bunch of basically web-browsers with a hard-coded link somewhere for 0.99. It's a process, ya know?
