One theory going around is that, since they want to charge for Nitro and other things in the app and go through app store billing, they can't have adult content (whereas a free app with no mtx can presumably get away with more risque content).
Sounds reasonable, but I don't know the current landscape of iOS development well enough to say if that makes sense.
- g_p 6y agoApple seems to be unwittingly making Epic's case in their antitrust case, and helping to justify the need for independence and separation of distribution, curation, payment processing, and operating system. I know payments networks can get funny with payments that go to anyone doing anything not in line with their puritan views, but webs of intermediaries usually tend to resolve that issue. What about apps like Reddit though? Don't they have IAP for their tokens or things you can give users, but also feature 18+ communities? This does seem to be an uneven application of the rules.
