China seems the perfect place to call Apple's B.S. policies out. The government isn't afraid of confronting a global powerhouse if it threatens domestic companies with unfair trade practices. And Apple's whole running of the app store approval and payments policy and process is nothing but unfair.
- IBM 9y agoI'd bet on Apple having more leverage with the government than Tencent just because Apple indirectly employs millions of workers.
- captainmuon 9y agoActually, I'd think the Chinese government has quite some leverage over Apple, too, since all their products are manufactured by Foxconn etc.. I wonder what negotiations and power struggles are going on behind the scenes?
- chickenbane 9y agoPlease, China doesn't give a shit about the Apple's app store and payment policy. It's a relationship; Apple does shit for China, (e.g., I'm sure the app store in China is heavily censored), China complies with some Apple pushback. They only disabled the functionality on iPhones, so the only reason they implemented it was on Apple's demand.
- valuearb 9y agoIn what way are their policies unfair?
