Show apple be able to block apps from third party stories like in the article?
- throwaway48476 2y agoApple should allowed to block apps from third party app stores on devices they paid for.
- hulitu 2y agoApple does not pay for devices. They sell them. The users pay.
- throwaway48476 2y agoYes. The users pay for them, the users own them, the users are entitled to run whatever software they wish on devices they paid for, own, and control.
- croon 2y agoYou stated the opposite above, which is what GP argued against.
- Jowsey 2y agoI assume there's just a "not be" missing somewhere
- throwaway48476 2y agoI believe I was consistent. Perhaps you believe that because apple had once paid for the devices that they should still be able to exercise control of them post sale to a user. This is a violation of ownership and of the first sale doctrine.
- croon 2y agoI believe the same, but that is besides the point. I think the misunderstanding stems from your original post, which I think you should reread. You state that "Apple should allowed [sic] to block apps from third party app stores on devices they paid for". No mention of users or owners rights post purchase. Did you mean "should not be"? But long thread about nothing, I was just trying to clear up the misunderstanding.
- wiseowise 2y agoIt was a joke that Apple can control software on devices that they (Apple) paid for. Since it’s they user that pays money - they should be in charge of the software.
- gridder 2y agoNot if the device is a ‘managed’ Apple’s employee’s
- whimsicalism 2y agoconfusing way of stating your view imo, as the other thread shows
- candiddevmike 2y agoI think you mean: Apple the company should be able to block stuff on devices Apple the company paid for (for their internal employees). Not all of the ones Apple manufactured.
- throwaway48476 2y agoTo be succinct, ownership implies control. This is a very old legal principle.
