I find myself agreeing and disagreeing with this article.
As a consumer, I like Apple’s App Store. In general I don’t like 3rd party apps and prefer web apps but when I do install a 3rd party app I feel that I am not loading malware. Also, when I buy books, audiobooks, and movies from Google Play I don’t mind buying from a web site and then having the content available from the apps.
I would like to see maximum support for web apps for too many reasons to list here. Apple should do better. I also don’t like Apple not holding themselves to the same privacy standards as other companies and platforms.
One thing that irritates me is not having easy access to books and movies bought from Apple on my Chromebook. I should re-check this, but except for going through the iCloud.com web portal, I am stuck. BTW, there is so much I like about the Chromebook model, especially because of built-in Linux containers.
Apple is definitely a compromise, at least in my opinion.
- seabriez 4y agoApple is not compromise of anything. It's a company that is evil, but only isn't yet because it didnt win in all the market segments. But as soon as it gains majority share they will fuckover all their customers, because they are evil and they can. iPhone is already a hell hole from a lockin and customer freedom perspective.
