Yeah, I'm honestly shocked at how welcomed the concept of "the government is telling developers that they must make their product less secure and streamlined" is here... This will not bring the interoperability utopia many believe, unless you mean 8 different app updaters bogging down your phone because now there's "competition" and the DrainMyBattery Store only charges 15% fees so it's the only place you can get CoolApp.
- asah 4y agosmall price for an open ecosystem. honestly, Apple had their chance and while claiming to self-police, in fact they enacted an obvious walled garden that went way way way beyond security requirements.
- d12bb 4y agoWhat is this open ecosystem worth if it's not as good as the closed one we have now? The choice always was there as one can buy Android (and install some Open(TM)Rom) or any niche OS.
- justapassenger 4y agoYeah, and that unsecured Linux is destroying the world! It’s not about making products less secure. That’s what apple makes you wanna think. It’s about giving customers choice. They can stay in Apple ecosystem (I will for example). Or they can not. Companies like Apple will have to work much harder now, to give both users and developers enough value to justify being locked in.
- nuker 4y ago> They can stay in Apple ecosystem Nope, Adobe will make sure all its apps require Adobe App Store. Same for Facebook with Whatsapp. No more stupid Apple store restrictions, yay!!
- woojoo666 4y agoThere's already a counterexample to this: Android. All Adobe apps are on the Play Store
- nuker 4y agoCheck recent story about IDFA on iOS and Facebook gone mad about it. No such story with Android.
- woojoo666 4y agoAre you imply that if Android got rid of advertising IDs like iOS, then Facebook would take their app off the play store? Not so sure about that
- nuker 4y agoThey lost and keep losing serious money.
- justapassenger 4y agoThey’ll loose waaaay more money by removing their app from Apple App Store, even if they have their own. People really don’t like extra friction. That’s why you see so much fight about getting stuff preinstalled. Perfect example is iMessage - it’s years away other messengers, but it’s good snuff and it’s default so it dominates USA market.
- deadbunny 4y agoStrange, this isn't an issue on Android.
- nuker 4y agoNot strange, Google is an Advertising company, unlike Apple. Facebook likes Google.
