That sounds great. The world is big and people are devious. I don’t have time to vet every app I use. I’ll gladly pay Apple a percentage to do that for me.

  You'd still have that choice if there was an alternative app store or side loading. Facebook is easy to ignore. As an app developer there is no way for me to ignore half of all phone users in the US.

    The developers aren’t the important party. Many of us that love our iPhones partially do because of the AppStore. I don’t want anything to change, it works very well. Developers like Epic should be thanking them. I wouldn’t have a smartphone if iOS didn’t exist.

      That still doesn't explain how giving us a choice of app stores causes a problem. If you don't like some other app store, don't shop there. And, as an iPhone user myself I want this option. So, you certainly do not speak for all iPhone users.

Sure, that's why I said this, explicitly- "Many of us that love our iPhones partially do because of the AppStore." > That still doesn't explain how giving us a choice of app stores causes a problem. I'd say, Apple shouldn't and doesn't have to offer another app store because their platform doesn't suck, because of their decisions. I don't want outsiders setting the precedent that people like you are going to be telling Apple how to run their business, it works very well right now without you.

  That's a great argument for Apple being the arbiter of what is allowed on their app store, but a very poor argument on why they should also decide what can run on your phone.
