Steve Jobs at D8 in 2010: What happens sometimes though is that some people lie. Some people use unpublished APIs and their app gets rejected. Some people submit an app that they say does one thing, but really does something else. They try to hide i…

"But Apple Music is on Android!" The only apps Apple has on other platforms are ones that it makes money from directly or indirectly. - iCloud (subscriptions) - Apple Music (subscriptions) - Apple TV (subscriptions) - Beats (for controlling Apple …

foregoneconclusion said: The 30% commission has been a big nothing-burger in the courts and with legislators so far. Hard to see that changing. Apple charges the commission to cover their costs for running the App Store + add some profit on t…

Sell an EU model with nothing on it except the Settings app. Users can go download the app store they want, the phone app they want, the messaging app they want, the browser they want. They'll have to connect it to a computer to side load at least t…

Apple should just make an EU model of iPhone that comes with the absolute bare minimum. No NFC or Secure Element — so, no Face/Touch ID, no Apple Pay etc. Zero apps pre installed except Settings and App Store (after all, preinstalling apps is “anti …

“Not ok” based on, what, exactly? Why is 3% any less arbitrary than 30%? I bet people think Tesla products are overpriced. This guy has plenty of money. Maybe he should build an entire hardware-software ecosystem from the ground up, and continuously…

Why don't they just tell Apple what they want then? It's like when you're trying to decide what to eat with someone, and they say "Just pick something I'd like"...then reject every suggestion you make.

Since the EU seems to know so much about how to make the best phones, OSes, apps, services., maybe they should just make an euPhone that runs euOS. Offer euCloud and maybe EU Music and EU TV. I’m sure it’ll all work great.

Apple’s next proposal should be to shut down the App Store in the Netherlands. Then these companies can use web apps with whatever payment providers they want and nothing owed to Apple. Maybe the only thing a web app would lack that a dating app “n…

Companies choose to pay fines as a cost of doing business every day. They’ve done this forever. It’s nothing new and certainly not unique to Apple. If a monetary penalty is allowed as an alternative to taking some action that the government wants yo…

Apparently simply asking for consent is “disruptive”. Well, I guess it is if your business model relies on practices that are so shady you don’t want to tell users what you’re doing.
