As countless developers have learnt over the decades: no app is bigger than Apple.
They will never shut down their store because of TikTok.
And some people might protest but everyone else will quietly switch to YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels.
- Jemaclus 3y agoWhile I agree with the "no app is bigger than Apple," I'm not sure the TikTok ban is specifically about TikTok. This opens the door to each state doing similar things for whatever they want -- imagine Alabama banning period-tracking apps or California banning Parler. I'm not convinced Apple or Google want to be in the business of state governments telling them what apps they can and can't sell. Although I do concede that they do this at the country level, so what's one more level of geo-restriction? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
