Author here, that’s an excellent point, one I overlooked with that statement and that Apple seems to be overlooking in their letter to the Hey team as well, where they said > “We understand that Basecamp has developed a number of apps an

Author here. It would be interesting to imagine what Apple could offer SaaS developers that would make them want to pay the App Store a percentage. Imagine if Amazon was the dominant platform, and they were the ones charging an App Store

Author here, and agreed—I mentioned the payment processing fees, and that SaaS might also pay Stripe an additional 1% (or something like Recurly even more) to manage subscriptions, but that’s only part of the costs. And that’s the problem I

I would presume that includes paid and free developers; you have to have an Apple Developer account to sign Safari extensions, for instance, or to sign non-App Store Mac apps, neither of which require a paid Apple Developer account. The poi

Author here, thank you for double-checking on Amazon’s VAT charges—I’ll update the post with that info. Amazon’s Kindle store pricing is incredibly steep and demanding on authors. At least now you don’t have to make your book exclusive to K

Yup, still Webkit, still essentially Safari in a wrapper. iCab just built a more powerful wrapper than most.

iCab Mobile is also one of the only truly unique iOS browsers. Was the only way to reliably download multiple files for years on iOS, and today still is the closest to having browser add-ons in iOS. Supported uploading files long before Saf

Random things that strike me about this deal: - HTC's stock price has been going down for the past 5 years, and EPS was down sharply recently. Does this make HTC more or less viable on its own going forward? - Apple finally made a VR p
