    Apple should start charging companies like Netflix, that charge customers but give nothing back to Apple, for making their services available through the AppStore. 
    They do "give back" to Apple since they offer a service that Apple users want. How is it so different from Apple hosting other "free apps" that users find valuable, stuff like Dropbox or Adobe Reader or Lastpass, that help keep Apple users happy in the ecosystem?

    Pretty sure you wouldn't want Netflix mobile as an Android exclusive. it wouldn't reflect well on the platform would it? 
    And if Netflix should be giving a cut to Apple then surely Uber and Lyft should too. Heck Eddy Cue even said Uber wouldn’t exist if not for the iPhone. I don’t think the same can be said for Netflix. I watch Netflix on my smart TV which has nothing to do with Apple.
    You’re right. Apple should be charging Uber and Lyft.

    Remember when Apple stopped installing YouTube as a default app?  How long did that last before Google put an app in the App Store?If Apple started charging Netflix, how long do you think it would be before Google did too. Apple needs some form of income to ensure the App Store remains viable.

    I am always amazed by how many YouTubers do live-streams whilst they are driving. Some are even reading the comments out live.

  • New iPad Pro ad hammers home Apple's ongoing laptop replacement theme

    Can the iPad replace my work computer? No, because I use bespoke software that only runs on windows. Could the iPad replace my home computer? Easily, it does everything I need to do at home.
