Native apps can still do/access a lot more things than a web app. Though now I'm curious: is there any web app that allows Apple Pencil input properly?

- carlosjobim 2y ago> Native apps can still do/access a lot more things than a web app. Could you even say that they access some core technologies?
- mmastrac 2y agoApple doesn't even give you the option to program against the bare metal kernel and a GPU surface so that's a pretty unfair leading question.
- carlosjobim 2y agoIf you have the physical device, you can do anything you want with it, Apple can not know what you do and cannot do anything about what you do. Are they obliged to provide you with free systems and technologies to program against the bare metal ?
- mmastrac 2y agoIt's my bare metal, so ... yes?
- carlosjobim 2y agoYou have it and can do whatever you want with it. Why should Apple be obliged to provide you with any other services in exchange for nothing?
- EMIRELADERO 2y agoThe OS and its APIs aren't a service, they're a good. A good provided to every iDevice purchaser.
- FredPret 2y agoI think if you read the EULA you'll be sadly disillusioned about your rights to use the APIs. You may own the silicon, but you're renting the OS. I wish there was an amazing desktop / mobile Linux. (Maybe next year lol) Maybe voice / brainwave powered AI will be able to translate our needs into shell commands which then goes into our contact lens supercomputer running Stallman-approved Linux.
- EMIRELADERO 2y agoThe EULA is probably unconscionable even under the usually contract-friendly US legal system. iOS is already on the phone even before the contract is presented to the user, and per precedent the user has the inherent legal right to use software that comes with purchased hardware.
- user_7832 2y agoCore compared to webapps, sure. What are you trying to say?
