That is the truth. I don't understand why so many people are willing to defend Apple in this situation. There is no way to construe these rule changes as anything but anti-user, and you should worry when a company breaks profit records but continues moving in an anti-user direction.

- GrandMasterBirt 15y agoLook. iPhone is superior to Android. I know it every day I use an Android. However I cannot buy an iPhone because: a) I use sprint and am happy with it. b) I don't support Apple's control on a moral level. So I will not support Apple by buying the iPhone. c) I won't develop for iPhone except as an after-thought or short-term project. This way I make money, and get out. I won't make any long-term plans for it. In fact that is true of EVERY mobile platform. Never bind a single long-term plan with one platform. Tomorrow Android can fail and WebOS rises to beat everyone in one swoop. You can't build a company on hopes and luck alone.
