Up next ... they're going to ban chrome and any app with a webview because you can access Android content! I am of course being facetious, but it sucks.

Their not going to ban Chrome, they will just wait 6 months to approve every update in the app store. Like what they did with Google Now for iOS (the Siri competitor): http://www.geek.com/apple/google-now-for-ios-is-ready-but-apple-needs-to-approve-it-1543641/ http://www.geek.com/apple/google-now-for-ios-is-ready-but-ap... They have always been good at sneaky stuff, like making iTunes slow for Windows... Then it's Windows fault :-) http://apple.slashdot.org/story/13/05/15/0126252/itunes-still-slowing-down-windows-pcs-after-all-these-years http://apple.slashdot.org/story/13/05/15/0126252/itunes-stil... And using an older webkit if a website is launched from the homescreen, so people would prefer native apps instead of websites. http://www.macrumors.com/2011/03/15/performance-of-web-apps-saved-to-home-screen-hampered-in-ios-4-3/ http://www.macrumors.com/2011/03/15/performance-of-web-apps-... It's all about the experience of the user and apple knows that. In all the above stories, it's about bringing a bad experience to the end user and frustrating them, if they aren't doing it the "apple way". Or just censoring it, if they have to.. I probably had one of the first iPhones and iPod's and as soon as i realized at what sort of company i gave money to. I switched to Google. Never had any regret.

  I've been planning to switch to Google for a while now (both as a consumer and as a dev). The lack of apps had been a valid issue for me, but thankfully the Play store has mostly caught up the AppStore. I'll still have an Apple device (stability, better camera, etc) though.
