Apple with its current incentives will never do this. I’m sure they know quite well which % of their services revenue comes from enticing push notifications from casino games.
But with all that said, don’t kid yourself with any thoughts that the “we” in your sentence refers to anything more than a practically immaterially small contingent of nerds. Poll 100 people off the street and for the vast majority of them, a more “open” mobile platform is—at best—some nebulous advantage of owning an Android phone that some dweeby family member ranted to them about. In reality, they are reality not directly making use of any of that “openness”, instead just using a worse, malware-infested iPhone alternative.
- basch 3y agoAn ad for the product itself is very different than an app sending a third party app as a notification. They absolutely need to enforce the latter as not ok.
- yreg 3y agoMaking marketing notifications a separate permission doesn't really nerf the casino games much. And I believe the "we" refers to far more people than you describe. It's ultimately a question of UX.
