No, but there are plenty of other organizations that would run a better app store than Apple, and Epic getting its way would mean that users stuck on iOS would get to benefit from them.
- zepto 6y agoThere is no reason to suppose that. If Epic gets its way, companies like Epic with large war chests will end up running stores. Amazon, Google, and presumably the stores that Phone Carriers will pre-install are good starting points. Presumably the Facebook app will integrate a store and the apps will provide telemetry without asking permission. Users and developers will have to contend with all of them. There is no reason whatsoever to suppose these will be better than Apple’s approach, and plenty of history to suggest that it will be worse. Who did you have in mind? Perhaps there is someone I haven’t thought of.
