>Right, and the rest of us don't want that, and I also don't want games or apps that don't adhere to Apple's rules. Then don't install them? But I fail to see why you (or Apple) should be in a position to tell other users what they can install or not. >You want another option of App Stores because you want don't want to pay for the user base that Apple created and maintains. lolwat Honestly, I don't even know what this is supposed to mean. >You want to embed permanent location tracking in your apps, abuse user data, and not have to have your crappy practices out in the open when Apple shows the "nutrition scorecard" for your app. This is a typical "think of the children" argument once more. Nobody forces you to install that tracking shit. You're free to not use apps that do that - e.g. get your apps from the Apple App Store, or make your own app if there is no such tracking free alternative. But those Apple App Store approved apps you seem to be so fond of... they do track you already ;) >That's not what I want on my iPhone. Then don't put use it on your iPhone. >Yes that's exactly what I want. I want Apple to have complete control over the ecosystem. They've earned my complete trust. Good for you. Nobody is stopping you from exercising your trust and only use Apple and/or Apple-approved software in the future.

> But I fail to see why you (or Apple) should be in a position to tell other users what they can install or not. Because it's their platform, they created it, they grew it, they paid for its development out of their pocket, and they offered it as a unique market proposition that satisfies millions of users around the world. Apple doesn't force anyone into their platform, everyone involved are there voluntarily and solely because they know that it's beneficial for them to be on the platform.

I think a good option here would be for Apple to sell jailbroken developer phones for say an additional 30% cut up front and a nice DEV brand on the back for bragging rights. The additional fee hurdle would discourage those who just want a cheap way to get paid software and whatever additional expenses from helping with malware.
