Agreed. As a user, I really don’t care that Apple takes their cut. If you’re a developer, either figure out how to make your business work with the Apple taking their cut, or go out of business. The market doesn’t care either way.
I love apples draconian policies against apps: it results in consumer benefit not consumer harm.
I love closed platforms on a phone (not on a Mac). I love Apple for not allowing people to side load, change the font or other useless things that only developers and power users care about. When you look at Apple, I think of my mom and grandparents. They are the people Apple is protecting. They are the customer that can only really use Apple because Apple protects them from nonsense. Go apple. Go App Store. Go 30% cut and all the rest of the policies people constantly complain about. It’s inconvenient? Boo boo! Go into another business then.
- askafriend 6y agoTotally agree with this sentiment, this is exactly why I choose the Apple ecosystem time and time again. I think Apple understands their customers very well.
- chanmad29 6y agowhat about cases (think Spotify?) wherein they transfer the 30% burden onto consumers? Is there a trade off between paying 30% tax vs benefit of one platform? I for one sub to Spotify outside of the app store. But I know the hassle that I've to deal with and I might not be the consumer type Apple wants to "safeguard".
- myopenid2 6y agoYou can have a walled garden but not charge 30% for it. You can have all the protections in place but not charge 30% for it. Also scam apps can and will use Apple's IAP to scam your grandparents still.
