I've only seen people say "It's Apple's App Store, they have the right to do what they want with it", not "It's Apple's hardware, they have the right to do what they want with it".
I don't know anyone who would question a hardware owner's right to do as they please with it.

- lukeschlather 16y agoApple's server hardware isn't the issue: Apple is asking for a 30% cut when Readability is processing and distributing content. (Maybe; I'm not sure how the Readability app specifically works. But Readability is theoretically in the same boat as Amazon, where Amazon is hosting all of the content, and Apple expects a cut because you're using an iOS device, and Apple maintains that their curator position licenses them to revenue sharing from all apps, regardless of who hosts the content.)
