What you call a "walled garden" someone else would call an openly opinionated, thoughtfully designed, and well managed platform with seamless integration and world-class support.
Again, if that's not your thing you're perfectly free to spend your money elsewhere.
- contact9879 3y agoYou can be opinionated, thoughtfully designed, and well managed without being a walled garden. Maybe once Apple is a primarily services company, they'll care less about their "walled garden" and let their devices play nice.
- stalfosknight 3y agoI honesty think that would be nice to see Apple loosen up in some ways. But I really appreciate some of the ways in which they are strict. Developers really need to restrained from their own worst behaviors like slurping up private data, abusive advertising practices, not providing simple one-click cancelation of subscriptions, and so on.

- stalfosknight 3y agoDo you have citations to back up your claim of collusion?
- realusername 3y agoThe fact that the only change of pricing ever done was due to an anti trust lawsuit and copied straight over to start with? It's basically admission of guilt.
