    Over a million apps and this is what they can muster.

    The app store ain't perfect, but wow - after all of this time and PR from these companies, you'd think they'd have enough to form a union.
    Instead it's just the usual faces complaining about the same tenuous stuff. 
    Usual ungrateful losers...most of whom would be nowhere if it was not for the Appstore!

    That’s the right way to go forward - Apple should adopt it.
    I doubt that Apple would loose too much money by allowing 3rd party app stores - even if this would mean that the commission is going down.
    Security should also remain intact, because 3rd party app stores would need to use install permissions granted by Apple (in contrast to jail breaking).
    Okay, so the app store is secure, but how does Apple know that the apps being sold in that store are secure?

    It's easy for Microsoft to adopt these principles because their reputation isn't based around security and privacy for its customers.

    Secondly, the comparison makes no sense: they're comparing their desktop operating system to a mobile operating system, which they have to do because their mobile platform crashed and burned.

    Here's the real comparison: MacOS App Store and Windows 10

    And whaddya know, we're looking at a completely empty gesture because you can get apps outside MacOS store and use a separate app store if you want to. (In fact lots of apps available on the Mac App store are also available on SetApp)


    ...... - I think it’s perfectly reasonable that all platforms should be open to allow apps installed from different sources, it’s up to the user to decide whom to trust.
    Its Apples platform.. they can choose what they want to do with it..and assume the risk.  IOS is not a Commodity!!! It is a choice among others. 
     If a consumer does not like it  he/she can go to other platforms.
    I prefers Apples Approach and i pay a premium for it !
    Why should Apple be forced to change depriving those who prefer it? 
    The choice is there.  Go to another platform that pleases you.

    Why? Is Apple totally averse to creating any positive or uplifting/escapist entertainment? Jeez.
    i dont know about uplifting.... but ‘For all man kind’ is pretty escapist and very engaging..

  • EU may require Apple to give competitors access to Apple Pay tech

    yojimbo007yojimbo007
    “Competitors, such as banks and alternative payment methods, have argued that Apple Pay makes alternative payment services less attractive.“

    So Apple is guilty of inventing a superior technology competitors cant keep up with ...  there fore Apple has to share its intellectual property to help the competitions?
    Thats considered Pro-Innovation? What kind of Ludicrous reasoning is this...?
    Then I guess Tesla should share their intellectual property since VW cant match their  technology?

    Is  having a superior Technology considered  Anti Trust???

    Seems to me Europe's approach is one of desperation and totalitarianism.
