I would definitely like to see other App Stores, so that the low-dollar, shifty shovelware apps get moved out of the Apple App Store. It would allow Apple to focus on the true nest-in-class apps that follow the design cues and security guidelines to make usable, truly secure apps on their platform.
They could market it as Trusted by Apple and if you’re not in the Apple App Store, you don’t get that mark. Heck, make it such that software not from the Apple store doesn’t get the digital signature that allows apps to start up with one touch. Require user consent before starting a non-approved app.
- scarface74 6y agoI would absolutely love to see this. All ad supported games and games with in app consumables get kicked off the App Store and are forced to use a ghettoized third party store. The only games allowed on the App Store are pay up front and demos with a one time fee to unlock all content like Nintendo’s games. Then charge 10% for all the apps that are on the App Store at most.
