- m463 3y agoWhy wouldn't apple let software just work as a proxy between the drone and dji? You don't need camera access, location services, etc when the drone does all of it onboard. I got a mavic early on and sent it back because you needed the app and an account to activate it and fly it, even manually.
- andersrs 3y agoI'm not sure if you're joking. Apple's business depends on them bending the rules for China.
- JoBrad 3y agoI’m not sure how that is any more true for Apple vs Google? Every tech company relies heavily on China for business.
- downWidOutaFite 3y agoGoogle is banned in China while Apple is not (because they bend their own rules to get that sweet Chinese cash).
- lovemenot 3y agoGoogle Search, Alphabet's main business, doesn't exist in China.
- lrem 3y agoGoogle has famously made a stand and fussily exited China. Since then its stock underperformed competitors that didn’t.
- ryandrake 3y agoIs there actual evidence that Apple is bending the rules for them? If true, that would be quite a scoop!
- rmbyrro 3y agoYes, the CCP published on their website that Apple is collaborating with them. Of course there wouldn't be any evidence. What people allege is that Apple being successful in China is suspicious.
- andersrs 3y agoApple’s strict on App Store rules but gives WeChat a free pass (2020) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36882467 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36882467 Of course there is no smoking gun but you'd have to be dumb to believe it's not happening. Apple want to make phones in China and sell phones to China Wechat (China) is allowed a free pass on the app store.
- guax 3y agoiOS does not allow sideloading. Android does. That would be enough difference. You can still enforce app permissions on apps outside the store on Android, like location and cameras etc only when using the app and so on.
