> exclusively used Apple for over one decade ... monopolistic evolution of the company.
Apple have been pulling this kind of thing for the entire lifetime of iOS at least, which is now at ~15 years. So it's less of an evolution and more of a constant.
Nothing has changed, nothing will change. Apple will make arbitrary and unfair rules that suit it, and people will complain but ultimately stick with Apple, and the cycle will repeat.
- hellofunk 6y agoIt has definitely been gradually getting worse. There’s no question about that. Maybe some tendencies have always been there, but they’re being manifested at a much more aggressive rate in very recent years.
- SCdF 6y agoSo this exact rule, that to charge money for your app or from your app you must give Apple a cut, has been there since 2011. This is not new, and apps getting caught in this seem to bubble up every few months.
- JustinVx 6y agoThe only way it can change is if the EU forces Apple to do so.
