"It's not the 30% but Apple's attitude of controlling their turf like the mafia under pretended moral superiority."
Do you feel the same way with all large consumer corporations or just Apple? Another words, how is Apple different from Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Netflix, or Adobe?
- pier25 5y agoI guess it's a matter of degree, but personally, as a dev, I think it's much worse dealing with Apple than Google or Microsoft. Adobe... I don't love them either but I don't think they go around waving a moral banner as if they were saving the world. Netflix I don't know, I'm just an end user and I'm really happy with their service.
- freedomben 5y agoI don't mean this as an excuse, but to a big extent Apple has been so successful with their policies and the propaganda behind why their policies are better for the consumer, that it forces Google/Microsoft to copy them. Many of the things the big tech companies do nowadays was an idea originated and proven at Apple previously. Edit: sorry, I meant this as a reply to GP question but I'll leave it here.
