well, I mean, of course... Facebook is still the proverbial 500lb gorilla, bad actor or no. Apple's going to be very slow in nuking a big player that drives a huge chunk of device usage.
- nxc18 8y agoEh, I think Facebook would lose more money each day that conflict dragged on until they complied with apple’s policies. Users can always access Facebook through safari.
- max76 8y agoKicking Facebook's apps off the appstore would include WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram. It would be a bigger deal than logging into Facebook.com on safari.
- femto113 8y agoEven ignoring directly related apps like Messenger, Facebook is the main way I log into a large chunk of unrelated apps on my iPhone including games, food delivery, shopping, etc. Nuking the main Facebook app could cause harm to a huge number of users and third party developers.
- max76 8y agoYou can do into with Facebook over Safari and not the Facebook app.
- chillacy 8y agoInstant antitrust lawsuit if apple did that imo. They already have the good guy points here, no need to go overboard and become the bully.
- dwighttk 8y agolet's do it... I'd love to eat popcorn and watch that play out.
