Just because it's in their self interests does not mean getting rid of the forced walled garden does not benefit other developers.
At the end of the users own the devices not apple. It should ultimately be up to the user.
- zepto 6y agoI agree, but that’s not what Epic is fighting for. They are just fighting for a part of the walled garden for themselves. Rather than supporting Epic as if they are on our side, we need to actually think about what really would be a good alternative.
- valuearb 6y agoThe walled garden has been hugely beneficial for developers, the relative app sales rates between iOS and Android is proof of that. And iOS customers overwhelmingly prefer the walled garden, it’s the main reason they buy iPhones. If the walled gardens was costing Apple customers instead of attracting them, the iPhone would have failed years ago. Android devices are cheaper, more diverse, and more flexible. There would be scant reasons to buy an iPhone. That’s the very definition of choice.
