Do I have to explain that giving something to a few key apps is much easier to control and analyze than giving it to thousand of obscure apps?
It also gives more to the users - the feature is available in apps most of them use.
Also this will be unpopular opinion but I don’t consider Apple giving themselves features an unfair advantage. Apple obviously trusts itself more than some random dude with a Mac mini.
- supermatt 5y agoI’m a huge Apple fan, and am often on their side on HN (check my comments). But this whole App dev and distribution unfairness I am dead against. I really don’t see how you can view this behaviour as anything other than an unfair advantage. By all means let them level the field by not using private apis themselves. And more importantly, when you are asked about it publicly, don’t lie about it.
