> did you know you can't use your iPhone apps for non-personal, commercials purposes? Can you point to the App Store rule that says this?

Here's what it says. I don't think it forbids commercial use. I'm not quite sure what it says. http://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/us/terms.html http://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/us/terms... > SERVICES AND CONTENT USAGE RULES > Your use of the Services and Content must follow the rules set forth in this section (“Usage Rules”). Any other use of the Services and Content is a material breach of this Agreement. Apple may monitor your use of the Services and Content to ensure that you are following these Usage Rules. > All Services: > - You may use the Services and Content only for personal, noncommercial purposes (except as set forth in the App Store Content section below). [...] > App Store Content: > - The term “App” includes apps, iMessage and Apple Watch apps, in-app purchases, extensions (such as keyboards), stickers, and subscriptions made available in an app. > - You can use Apps on any device that you own or control. > - Individuals acting on behalf of a commercial enterprise, governmental organization or educational institution (an “Enterprise”) may download and sync Apps for use by either (i) a single individual on one or more devices owned or controlled by an Enterprise; or (ii) multiple individuals on a single shared device owned or controlled by an Enterprise. For the sake of clarity, each device used serially or collectively by multiple users requires a separate license.

  Notice how the exception in the last clause only applies to "devices owned or controlled by an Enterprise". What I wrote is that using your iPhone is not allowed, and that's plain from the terms.

    I'm pretty sure that rule is saying: you can install an App on multiple devices for one user, or one device for multiple users, but you're not supposed to install a single purchased app on a whole fleet of devices that will be used by multiple people.

      But this rule is pretty clear, no? What am I missing? > You may use the Services and Content only for personal, noncommercial purposes
