Apple's supply chain is more than 1,000 companies. Do you really think Apple has the expertise and personnel to replicate what 1,000 companies have spent decades mastering? Not likely. No company on earth has ever been able to make a s

Games can have stores, marketplaces, platforms, and other arbitrary interactive stuff running inside of them, whereas movies and songs are more or less functionally identical in technical capability (although it would be funny if Netflix pu

The reviewer (a lowly employee just trying to follow a process) clearly made a mistake and did not follow Apple's guidelines. Manual review processes have plenty of mistakes, resubmit it. Most reviewers would not have rejected this, i&

Because it's Apple's phone, Apple's operating system, Apple's app store, not the developers. Does Disney allow lewd content on Disney+ or at Disneyland?

All of them have one thing in common: they want to be seen as "new tech" companies, not dying older companies. Microsoft wants to be seen up against apple, google Oracle wants to be seen up against AWS Walmart wants to be seen up

Can't wait to troubleshoot my parents iphones after courts force them to allow arbitrary code installs from any source without apple's curation. The whole value proposition of iOS is they BLOCK CRAP.

I don't. I really don't want to troubleshoot my parents iPhones after they install arbitrary code from the Alternative App Store #12 after clicking on a banner ad run by an anonymous chinese entity. Holy shit.

the only reason I recommend iphones to family members is because they are closed platforms, why are we trying to take away that option, a valid option to want to exist in an open marketplace, to make sure developers get more cash? there&#x2

yeah, I get that, and the only reason I picked an iphone for my grandpa is because it's a curated closed platform. i'm glad it exists as an option, and it's not the most popular one, but it seems insane to make it illegal to

I think about it like this: what would happen if you did this manually, at the same scale? If I went around asking every single person you've ever met if they could provide any pictures in which you're in the background, and colle

Buffett thinks GAAP is almost useless now, and doesn't think accountants have a clue. He follows own "owners earnings" model, which is not a standard of any kind.
