Hopefully the EU shames Apple and threatens with more fines for this “malicious compliance”. Warning: potentially inflammatory content ahead. AFAIK, Eddy Cue

AFAIK, Eddy Cue is the one responsible for all this. He’s known to be a shrewd negotiator (with Hollywood studios and such), but the App Store has been a disaster for developers in many ways (as well as users, in some ways) for a very long time. Tim Cook has trusted lieutenants who shouldn’t be, and gotten rid of those who could’ve done a little better (Scott Forstall, I believe, was one of those).
- lapcat 1y ago> AFAIK, Eddy Cue is the one responsible for all this. Incorrect. "To hide the truth, Vice-President of Finance, Alex Roman, outright lied under oath. Internally, Phillip Schiller had advocated that Apple comply with the Injunction, but Tim Cook ignored Schiller and instead allowed Chief Financial Officer Luca Maestri and his finance team to convince him otherwise." https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.364265/gov.uscourts.cand.364265.1508.0_2.pdf https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.36...
- AnonHP 1y agoThanks for the correction. I was wrong in saying that Eddy Cue was responsible for this. I was referring to the App Store and its issues in general (not just the recent ruling), and the one to blame in the past would’ve been Phil Schiller. Now it seems like Tim Cook is the one to be blamed for everything App Store. The entire App Store needs a rethink and a revamp without the bean counters running the show.
