Apple is the worst of them all. They are much more restrictive and arbitrary with their app store policies (see previous HN articles over the last 5 years), they have done much more to lock down their devices to prevent circumvention of things like banning emulators, and they don't license the apple device model to other vendors, so they are the true definition of a walled garden. Google has plenty of problems too, but at least random device companies can make android devices, and third party app stores are (sort of) allowed to exist.
- busymom0 5y agoYou aren't wrong. Though I was mostly talking about customer service part and development relations in terms of that. Google regularly bans developers for absurd reasons or no reasons at all, doesn't let them talk to any humans until the developer causes enough twitter storm and gets some tech sites to write about it to get some attention from Google. Apple at least lets the dev talk to human beings.
