The web is full of junk, and so is Android. I don’t expect Apple to eliminate apps I don’t like from the store, and I’d say Apple’s first party stuff is part of the curation. You might prefer the store was open, but that clearly isn’t a priority for you.
But you refute the GP’s other point in any case - you think their first party stuff is great, which he seems to dispute.
- frumper 3y agoTheir App Store could be a wild Wild West and the first party stuff would still be great, work well, and integrate with other Apple products. It has nothing to do with the App Store curation.
- throw4747477 3y agoSure, but that was clearly not a priority for you. For others it certainly is, and in aggregate people choose the platform with its curation. All things being equal, if the closed store were a net negative of any significance, Android would be doing much better than it is.
- smoldesu 3y agoHey now, I used to develop for Apple products. Life is short though, and catering to Apple's every whim is like living with a fat and lazy king who demands tribute for doing nothing. When MacOS and iOS had the confidence to show me ads, I left. Their comment honestly resonates with me - I also paid extra for Apple products because I thought I'd get a better experience. As time goes on, that experience has not lived up to the standard it should have. Apple's insistence on cagey behavior has turned me off their ecosystem entirely for personal usage.
