I thought Apple was all about giving consumers the best UX and that revenue would automatically follow... how does a move like this help UX?
How come Apple's reviewers are so freaking vigilant about in-app purchases while letting a fart app or a tethering app (or even, until one point, those uploading address books without any alert) slip through so often?
- tejaswiy 14y agoThey make up very generic rules and selectively enforce them whenever they view some app / service as directly competing with Apple's own offering. See: The initial Apple - Google spat with google voice, Kindle - Apple, Dropbox - Apple. The UX mantra is just BS like Google's "Don't be evil".
- tomrod 14y agoBecause the training of the reviewers doesn't cover those cases. Apple is no startup!
- rogerchucker 14y agoFor a company whose figurehead once railed against porn, I find awfully amusing that its reviewers allow the fart apps. (You don't have to lecture me how fart != porn, although I have seen some overlap between the two)
