>let's say someone offered you a deal: for a 30% tax, your device would be X% more secure and you'd have Y% fewer troubles with upgrades and dodgy software. Would you take it? I would.
there is no reason you couldn't have this while also having competing app stores. All you would need to do is not install the competing app stores.
- com2kid 6y agoPeople will install the dodgy app store and still blame Apple. Same way people blamed Microsoft when Bonzi Buddy made their computer barf. Right now the perception of iPhones is that they work. Soon as people are tricked (and given the $$$ at stake that will happen) into installing malware infested garbage, the platform's rep will take a hit. Android used to allow apps a lot more freedom, but then android phones turned into ad filled monstrosities with a battery life measured in fractions of a day, and Google had to clamp down.
