iOS has private APIs that only Apple apps can use, some of those can give Apple-developed apps an upper hand over competitors.

- jwells89 3y agoIt’s not a perfect rule, but a lot of private APIs on iOS are private only as long as it takes Apple to nail down their design, with internal usage serving as dogfooding. That way they don’t end up with scores of third parties dependent on what are basically alpha/beta API designs which frees them to radically change designs until they’re satisfied. In that circumstance I don’t think there’s anything with APIs being private since it’s only temporary.
