I like that Apple forces app developers to use a system that is convenient and safe for me as the device owner. I don't think it would be a case of "ignore the alternatives", I expect many apps would abandon apple to save a few dollars and I would have to put my credit card into half the apps I currently use. I buy the phone and the apps for my benefit, not the benefit of Epic.
I have to be honest, I subscribe to a lot more services through Apple than I would outside because I trust their cancellation mechanism. Developers may lose 30% on my purchases but they might not get anything outside of the walled garden.
Also, I have a Sony Xperia running Sailfish, sat over there-->, for when I feel the need to tinker.
- acomjean 6y agoWouldn't it be nice to use old iPhones for tinkering instead? the hardware is pretty amazing. I guess I've decided the last few years to forsake some safety/connivance to ensure the right to use my hardware the way I want. Its harder. I have a linux notebook which is great, but requires a little more attention. As apple moves more into services its become less of a systems company, I'm not completely trusting of them.
