I thought they just removed those VPNs apps from the China AppStore? Apple also blocked LinkedIn in Russian store as it’s banned by the government. But only in Russian. That’s the key problem here, if what Telegram says is true and they’re

What’s distasteful about that? That’s their key differentiator that enabled a lot of their advantages. And there's also Android anyone could use if they’d want to.

Email is a relic of an old era and isn’t a very good example. It wouldn’t catch on if it emerged just now. More and more modern email clients starts to add things on top of the protocol turning their apps into walled gardens (Polymail, Spar

iCloud Keychain is pretty good, but it tragically fails in the followings cases: * Any browser other than Safari. * Apps that MacOS/iOS don't parse for password fields for some reasons so you can't generate a password right t

At first, they're not a monopoly, people who worry about that could easily use other open-source and probably less convenient solution. Secondly, after the subscription ends the apps simply go into read-only mode. You still have access

For SMBs that probably is really bad. Just the fact that a small website you’ve just heard about requires a lot of your data would be negative for their customer acquisition, while other people would continue trust major companies.

That's even worse for you case, I suppose. In case of a usual VC funds it's about the returns, but corporate VCs also look for some potential synergy. They probably were looking for some ML startups that they could utilize later.
