Remember (not that long ago) when Apple was years ahead of ARM on performance, had vastly better support windows for their hardware and vastly better UI and UX? It is just that today Android has mostly caught up if not surpassed on a phone

And exactly how far ahead has Apple been since 2010 or so? That’s why you would assume that. ARM designs have different constraints than Apple’s designs.

So, so incredibly incorrect.

Really? You could run OS X on any hardware you bought? Or OpenVMS?

Whoever thought it was ever reasonable to play songs alphabetically should have been fired.

No, Apple didn’t do that. It’s just your subconscious trying to get you to upgrade.

Vim (and Vi in general) make vanilla emacs seem sensible and approachable.

And what percentage is the screen of the top surface of the watch?

At least in the US that’s no longer true - see Kindle app

In the past, all In-App purchases were distributed by Apple, so that in the shipping fee for your digital good. Apple needs to catch up with the changing requirements, so digital goods delivered by the developer’s infrastructure shouldn’t h

No one makes you buy an iPhone. Or an Android phone. There may be consequences, however.

What development toolkit will you use to make your App for the iPhone? Why should Apple be giving that away for free?

What software did you use to make a program on your computer that runs on the iPhone? Who pays for that software?

We aren’t taking about Android developers here.

So Apple should provide free development of XCode?

LOL at thinking grandma is using a Mac when she can’t control her phone.

Show me anyone who says there are millions of scam apps on the App Store. We aren’t talking about the Play Store here.

I don’t my mom scammed out of more of her money, again. Or my FIL.

If companies had a product people cared enough about, people would stop buying iPhones.

But as the API surface expands, making a compatible competitor becomes increasingly difficult. Look at how long WINE has been developed and how it still isn’t done.

Try watching Citizen Vigilante in Germany. Or The Texas Chainsaw Massacre or I Spit on Your Grave until recently.

You work for $8000 a year?

They are obviously not charging the maximum price because they’ve raised the price significantly when the iPhone X came out and suffered no harm. Apple sets prices based on a 30% raw profit margin and ignores the market except as it constra

Why should Apple develop XCode and distribute apps for these developers to iPhones for free? Are you willing to pay the storage and bandwidth costs for Fortnite since Epic apparently can’t afford to?

The only interesting market is comments labels as from alkonaut and if no one else can make such a comment, that is monopoly that should be regulated.

The Play Store on Android. More specifically your question is like asking what if you have a car that requires diesel, what substitute is available to let you use cheaper gasoline?
