I agree with this take. My one concern is it has the potential to diminish the entire brand. Even with giant warnings about losing warranty/support when installing 3rd party app stores or side loading apps, at the end of the day the back of the phone has a big Apple logo on it. So when the customer fucks it up and Apple refuses to fix it, they’ll still blame Apple.
- leptons 3y agoApple's hardware house of cards might come down if developers are allowed to push the devices past what Apple allows due to form-over-function design decisions they make, and I'm okay with that.
- rustymonday 3y agoIf consumers find that's a problem, then they should be willing to pay the 30% premium in the app store. My guess is that this is not as much of an issue as Apple claims, and this 30% premium will not be worth it to the consumer.
- josephg 3y agoI think plenty of software development companies quite like to keep that 30% to themselves. I could imagine Microsoft, Adobe and others refusing to ship their software on the app store at all if using their own store let them keep more of the purchase price.
