  • Editorial: New Mac Pro highlights the gap Apple isn't filling

    talexytalexy
    Don't get the point of the article.
    Is ist about logic like the illustration suggests? Is there really a "hole" in the lineup?
    With everyone having a subjective view about what one (customers) need, there is still the question for any company what makes sense to built, because not every group of users is big enough to make something especially for them.

    My subjective view is, there are Apple desktops and laptops (and iPads) in various configurations for a wide range of needs.
    And then there is the MacPro for everything that tops those needs.
    And thats it.

  • Developers sue Apple over $99 annual fee, mandatory pricing increments of $0.99

    If you can't afford $99 developer fee, you're not in the business of making a profit. At best, you have a hobby not a profession.
    Not the point.  Apple has a monopoly over app distribution and the 30% piece of the pie is what is the "profit killer".  Not many businesses can take a 30% cut on profit.
    Well, think the other way round: Develop an product and try to sell it.
    - first think about advertising to make your product visible to your potential consumers. How you gonna do it? Google Adwords ($$), Facebook Advertising ($$)? Billboards ($$$)?
    - o yeah you have to built a website ($$) were the product can be purchased from.
    - or you put your product into a self developed packaging ($$) and then develop relationships to resellers ($$) and make them want to display your product ($$$)

    In short, in no way a 1 man developer could have had the resources to distribute an App on his own before the App Store came along. It worked and it still works.

    “Apple App Store policies....increased scrutiny....as they gain more market share.”
    So let me get this straight, you will under go more scrutiny if you develop a successful product that people want and grow market share?
    As opposed to telling other people what to do with their products in order to do business with them.
    Is your post intended to be ironic?

  • Future path of Apple's App Stores at stake in Monday's Supreme Court arguments

    This is the interesting thing with humans. Sometimes they complain about a situation, telling the story of freedom of choice and whatever, when in reality they only want to make money of their own crappy offerings.

    This is the crazy thing with humans. There are always people, who have no real problems with the current situation in the first place, but nonetheless believe those complainers.

    Works for Appstores, Presidents and Brexits. And human society in general.

    Sorry to come up with this conspiracy thing, but i think, at least today most analysts and some financial news outlets do nothing more than trying to shift the market in a desired direction to fill their pockets with piles of money. Which would be sort of ok, if they wouldn't do so by spreading lies. 

    The term analyst makes it sound like they're experts, trying their honestly best to predict the success of a company, similar to an earnest investigative journalist. In fact they are shady story tellers that try to spin stories to support their own agenda.

    Without a blink of an eye they would sent an economy into a devastating crisis, if they would profit on it.
