Snap stock plunges as Apple privacy changes impact revenue
KTR said:Damn, and they pay the 30% App Store tax
Everyone downloads the app on Apple's dime. Everyone knows about the app because of Apple. Apple is the one-stop-shop and most KNOW about the app because of Apple. any in-app packages are hosted by Apple.
And oh, it's FREE, so let's see, ZERO x 30% is.... ZERO.

Google dropping Material Design in iOS to make iPhone apps look more like they should
darkvader said:rob53 said:"Apple's own proprietary UIKit" Interesting how you snuck that in. It's still a UIKit that's available to every developer to develop apps on iOS devices so why the dig?Because it's accurate. The Material Design system may be ugly, but at least it's open source. UIKit is proprietary.No, it’s not. The word “proprietary” isn’t used correctly in this context. Where else except Google products is their UI used? Put another way. When they put that UI on iOS and macOS apps, it’s THEIR use of “Material Design” that becomes proprietary. Apple doesn’t keep UIKit as a first-party framework. All Apple developers use it.

Apple rejecting apps is unfair competition, declare rejected app developers
Your wife is crazy. Is that all you have to do? DESIGN? What about manufacture, test, MAINTAIN?rhbellmor said:Like my wife always tells me when I complain about some design feature or lack of in my new car, she tells me to design my own car. The developers are free to design their own smartphone and App Store like I can start my own car company. I like Apple protecting me and my smartphone. When Apple stops doing that I’ll go back to a dumb flip phone!
Most people don’t have the wherewithal to even *import* a non-US version of a car, much less do all that.

Apple CEO Tim Cook addresses workplace issues, pay equity, more in all-hands meeting
Well, to be fair, the carrion eaters come out when they think they smell decay, and you're circling. So are you smugly predicting or are you making it happen?anantksundaram said:Weird -- but predictable -- how the revolution always ultimately comes for its own.

No state has authority that's not already outlined at the federal level. Read your damned Constitution.9secondkox2 said:Apple needs to stay out of politics.If Texas wants to outlaw killing babies, that’s fine. States have governing authority.
