So long HN karma... Proprietary hardware, constantly pissing off developers and customers... Great company /s I dont know why Apple gets a pass for being so anti-competitive. I remember the annoyance of buying music on itunes and being forced to burn it to CD just to play on my mp3 player. Today, its a multi thousand dollar event to publish an app on Apple's store, vs the insignificant cost of publishing on Android and Web. (If anyone has an idea how to reduce the cost of compiling my React Native app and publishing on Apple, I'm all ears, but I'm constantly being told to spend 2k+.)
