Is it though? Has the play store ended because Google allows side loading?
The issue here is Apple simply doesn't really take risks and innovate to be the first in an industry. They take existing tech, polish them VERY well, and then try to make a lot of money off of it.
Problem is they're trying to leverage their position to run other companies out of business (Spotify and Apple music for example, or Netflix and Apple TV+)
- Someone 6y agoEnd of the App Store because all high-grossing products would stop bringing in money. Doesn’t take risks? They spent lots of money on hardware for machining aluminium (a move that turned out good, I think), developed the Touch Bar (got mixed reviews), a new keyboard (not that successfully), decided to move to ARM CPUs in the desktop (potentially, that could bite them in the future. If x86 CPUs ever become faster than Apple ones, the speed difference with Windows may lose them customers for their high-margin devices), etc.
- aaomidi 6y agoNone of those are really innovations with new products, but yeah. I guess this is moving away from the main conversation. But I don't really see the App Store going anywhere even if third party app stores were allowed.
