Submitting this without comment is the smartest thing to do - because if one truly implies what I think parent intends, they’re about as bone headed as they come.
The product is making insanely powerful api’s so that you go from thought to code and from code to customer base at the speed of ideas while still maintaining amazing performance for the end user.
That is still happening - whether or not we agree on SwiftUI - it’s obvious they still care. These ideas BUNDLED with the AppStore is the product for developers and end users. Either enjoy it - or enjoy life on the web, the cross browser compatibilities, the crazy header vulnerabilities, the css not shaping right, the js everywhere… you name it. Just try other fields for a real commercial app - then you’ll see the iOS native app is valuable for a reason.
- bloppe 4y agoPeople can agree to disagree on the value of the walled garden. The problem is that "Just try other fields for a real commercial app" isn't really an option; not for a commercial app that wants to make money. Clearly this is not because the App Store offers a better developer ecosystem than other platforms. It just enjoys entrenched market share.

- p0pcult 4y agoGood marketing. Sticky ecosystem. For a while, they were extremely innovative (facetime/ipod/itunes/iphone). Network effects (facetime/imessage).

- jachee 4y agoThe real genius is in why these customers want it. And that is, to paraphrase John Mulaney, “the everything about it”.
- mitchdoogle 4y agoIt's because they have some great marketing. But people aren't choosing the app store. They choose a phone, and then they are forced to use the app store if they want to add any apps.
