Don’t use iOS then. That’s always a choice.

No, people are arguing this because they think the 15% represents good value compared to what you would have to do as an indie developer to support multiple stores and payment methods.

The problem is that people can easily be induced to install software that negates the benefit of Apple’s hardware. Apple can’t deliver their hardware benefits without also controlling the operating system. It’s as simple as that.

How many security flaws are there, and when do you anticipate that they will all be eliminated? If you can’t answer these questions, then you can’t make any claim about it being close to perfect.

People prefer a phone with a store curated by Apple.

> like you said, there's always going to be security issues and using them as the scapegoat for "why" this can't happen is a bad argument. No it isn’t. If you agree that there are always going to be security issues,

The world we live in is one where nobody is forced to buy an Apple product. If you don’t like what Apple does, don’t buy their products.

So what? There are plenty of other options if you want to develop software for you own use.

Except that Apple doesn’t in fact do surveillance advertising itself , so that analogy is complete bullshit.

So you avoided the question. Are you suggesting that iOS provides perfect security?

Are you suggesting that iOS provides perfect security? If you think that, I am not going to bother to do the googling for you.

No they aren’t. If you want F-Droid, buy an android phone. Apple can’t stop you.

You can always buy a developer account.

> If that can happen, then that is a security flaw of the device and should be fixed, no? Yes. It should be fixed. Guess what? Nobody has ever in human history figured out how to make software that is free of security flaws. That’s wh

Don’t you mean Facebook isn’t TikTok’s size yet, since Facebook is declining both in revenue and users.

We’re taking about a feature which requires companies to get consent before tracking users. That’s all. It applies to everyone, including Apple. It only harms Facebook because their business only works if users are deceived into being tra

Ok, so you deny that Facebook contributes to any problems. Understood. Can you explain why your account was created in 2014 but was only activated 9 months ago to begin defending Facebook?

> Google's main business is surveillance advertising, and they pay Apple for the privilege of surveilling their users and returning them advertising. Not true. Google is accessed via a web browser or via their own app. Google does

Hardly greatness without which the innovation of an entire industry is being suppressed.

You can’t seriously be claiming that a FetLife app vs the fetlife website is major innovation.

So what? It’s clearly not enough on its own.

1. You clearly have no evidence that Apple is doing any surveillance advertising, otherwise you’d present it. Claiming they do is therefore a lie. 2. Just because Google pays someone money doesn’t mean they have a surveillance advertising

How will this ‘curated store’ be profitable?
57.
by zepto 5y ago
Sure, but that’s a matter of competition. Google and Samsung both have the resources to compete with Apple in those areas.

Perhaps you can name one such great idea.

And they can. Nothing prevents that. If you think it does, you’ve been lied to.

You seem to be engaging in magical thinking by imagining that a sandbox can prevent all malware. No serious security researcher would support this claim.
