It's not about the money, it's about not being able to leave an IMAP connection open on IDLE or change the push server for your IRC app or run guile/gcc/vim/git

It's not about the money, it's about not being able to leave an IMAP connection open on IDLE or change the push server for your IRC app or run guile/gcc/vim/git locally at a usable speed.
- lupinglade 6y agoYes - that's the real problem, too many restrictions on what apps can and can't do. This is not something Apple should be able to do - this is itself anti-competitive, as of course Apple are able to do all of those things while competing with other developers.
- handmodel 6y agoI'd like to see someone with more legal knowhow chip in but I'm fairly sure the fact that the app store does restrict apps to be the most compelling legal case for its existence? If it literally blocked nothing then Apple can't say that the app store is part of the ecosystem that makes it unique. If it has a high bar for restrictions, it can successfully argue to avoid spamware and other bad quality apps Apple is going the work for the user to make the phone experience worthwhile.
- saagarjha 6y agoApple's bar does not successfully keep out a lot of spamware. Have you taken a look at the junk that you get when you search for any generic search term?
