By your logic I could release an iOS only app and then claim iOS has a 100% monopoly because no one uses my app on android.
As for the background processes: that's by design. Only specific types of apps that have legitimate broad-appeal use cases for background processes (eg voip apps) are allowed.
There is a reason Apple products have high customer satisfaction survey results: a product is not just whatever shit you can throw together.
- Normal_gaussian 10y agoNo you have completely misunderstood 'my logic'. I was illustrating how product share depends on the market definition. I did not give a definition for a monopoly. This illustration could showed both that the parent comments' statistic is irrelevant/incorrect and that the market share is likely to vary significantly across a geographical population. As for the background processes. I know that is by design. Believe it or not we are allowed by Apple to run our background process in a similar vein to most other Apps. Unfortunately the background process mechanism is not reliable enough for us. Hence why I said 'reliable'. Apple have no intention of improving this situation as we are not a large enough revenue stream.
