What if Apple is right about the App Store and its control of it?
I’ve never wanted an open App Store. Side-loading apps onto my best iPhone struck me as the perfect way to infect or ruin them. Granted, I was not an iPhone jailbreak kind of guy. I’ve also never felt constrained by that single App Store or even that I’m potentially being overcharged because Apple used to charge developers 30% for every transaction (it’s since come down a bit in some situations) – a cost that might’ve been passed along to me. Perhaps this is because the majority of apps I use are free and those I’ve paid for, like Procreate, and Star Walk 2 charged me once and then let me freely download updates.
My point is, that I’ve never been unhappy with Apple’s approach to apps, access, and app commerce. Based on the actions of the EU, lawsuits, and even potential US laws seeking to alter Apple’s policies, perhaps I’m in the minority.
