Maybe the best pivot ever (since the iPhone was made for web apps [1]).
Can Apple ever switch back? Since their valuation depends on their income from the app store, they are forced to continue their policy.
However, is this a valid long-term strategy? Right now, most apps are by requirement single-purpose tools. Is Apple prepared for the time when there are user-generated apps? Much of what web3.0 can be is inhibited if Apple puts a tax on every transaction and prevents apps that change their source code.
Since the US mobile phone market is dominated by Apple, does this give China a huge advantage for developing the next generation of software?
