I think Apple could done something like " any application that has payments should offer an Apple Pay option" but not force prices for outside the store or other payment methods or only Apple pay. With this scheme Apple Pay fans can use it for everything.
- vineyardmike 5y agoBesides the profit apple makes, there are other reasons they require apple pay... my partner used to work as an apple care agent and tons of people would call in saying apple apps took their money (but they were actually just random 3rd parties from app store). Apple is able to give them their money back. These callers can't distinguish between apple and a third party app. Sometimes even from big names like uber or facebook. Apple is doing what they can to uphold their reputation (and yes, profit).
- simion314 5y agoI understand Apple is proud that 2 years old children can use a tablet but this is not a valid reason to for example remove all text from the OS because 2 years old can't read. Apple needs to do that work to create UI/UX that can server all the users, maybe even offer customization and options for competent adults. Using this kind of "think of grandma" reasoning will just lead you in removing every feature, like remove the "delete file" option from the Macs because grandma deleted something( the correct solution is to maybe pout a good confirmation box or some undo deletion/backups not screwing 99% for the 1% though let's be honest this is all about money)
