The second sentence on your website is "Finding a reliable place to bank your umbilical cord, cord blood, and placenta stem cells is hard". By the way, the first sentence is "Get your personalized cord blood plan in minutes.&

You having a strong brand helps people of color? Now you completely lost me. What do you mean? So personalisation doesn't mean that the harvesting or storing is personalised? It just means you are emotionally supportive? Aren't yo

But you are MORE expensive than all the examples cited. How is that an advantage? As to brand, how does that help? What kind of personalisation do you offer?

Isn’t it a bit strange to market a brand new startup as the “reliable” alternative?

The original iPhone had quite a cult following, as did the iPod. People were flocking to them without any apps. It's because the iPhone was so cool that developers wanted to make apps for it. So it's pretty reductive to say that i

What does that mean? That apps using third party payment providers should still show up as app store subscriptions? That would make it even less clear that it's third party, that's exactly the opposite of what apple wants.

Apart from push notifications, which I don't think a lot of people want from their web apps, in what way are they being crippled by Apple?

Why would it even be an issue that they're making billions from the app store? They've clearly said many times "this year have helped developers earn x billions through the appstore". Then it's easy to calculate the

Physical goods have never been paid for with in-app purchases, so nobody will expect Apple to handle that, and nobody will blame them if things go wrong.
552.
by Grustaf 5y ago
Because physical goods is not digital. Why shouldn't they be able to choose what they charge for? They probably feel that their role is much less important when the service is delivered outside the phone. Makes sense to me. But if they

Obviously they make lots of money from the appstore. What's wrong with that?

Clarifying the rules is not the same as changing them, ask any hermeneutic. > Also, whether an activity is physical or virtual should be entirely irrelevant You can hold any belief you want, but there's nothing illegal or immoral ab

The companies expanded the acope of their activities, from physical to virtual. Apple’s policies remained the same. As to covering all the important things in life, it’s only an issue for things that are 1. Not physical, or “content”, and 2

> When it comes to other businesses, consumers have choice. If one company charges too much of a premium, consumers can go elsewhere. If I go elsewhere from Apple, I lose access to all of my purchased items. Well Apple has always charged

What's the connection?

I mean of course it's indirectly about money, they want people to have a good experience with their Mac so they stay in the ecosystem. But when you sideload an app like that there is no question about losing app store revenue (develope

Perhaps, but the point was that they do this even when it's not about taking a cut.

Perhaps the 27% is a troll, but the warning screen is 100% in line with how they always do things. Just like when you run an executable on your mac that you downloaded from the internet, they warn you and ask you if you really want to open

One reason they're not doing that is that more than 99% of people would buy the family edition.

It's not just fear mongering though. The risk that Apple will steal your credit card details is exactly zero. With a third-party it's definitely not zero, and there are plenty of people who are suspicious enough to barely trust Ap

Because it can't just be that they actually want to be very clear to the user that Apple is not responsible for the experience?

Do you actually think channels like CNN get their left leaning bias from reading twitter, rather than their owners? And I suppose fox gets its bias from listening to Joe Rogan?

Why "should" they do that?

You mean "The Chicks"? They changed the name because the left felt it was racist to use the word Dixie.
