Any other dev would have been banned from the App Store for life, but because they're Uber they just get a warning.
- 8ytecoder 9y agoOn the other hand, had Apple actually banned Uber from the App Store the outrage would have been insane - even right here in Hacker News. IMHO, Apple didn't have a choice but to let them go scot-free.
- serg_chernata 9y agoI read this story over the weekend, about Kalanick getting a meeting with Cook and discussing this issue. In stark contrast, I'm sure that anyone else would have their app removed and receive automated responses from apple support at best. No, I don't think Cook needs to find time for everyone. I just find this contrast fascinating.
