- zak_mc_kracken 12y agoWhat they care about is irrelevant, they are also alienating creators of apps that make them money with this kind of attitude. They are basically repeating the same mistakes Jobs made two decades ago which led to the almost bankruptcy of Apple. Granted, they have enough money in the bank to be safe from this, but this kind of behavior is simply accelerating the decay of their market share, and as a consequence of that, of their profits.

- zwily 12y agoNo, I'm not sure, it's just a guess. What do you think?
- cheald 12y agoThe data from the last 8 quarters or so shows that Apple's app store revenue lead over Google is shrinking rapidly. Given Google's rapid gains in both marketshare and app store revenues, it isn't crazy to think that Apple could be the underdog before too long.
