I now think it would be good for Apple to get ahead of this and state explicitly and loudly that developers are free to create web-apps and put them in their own web-app store - that these apps do not need to use Apple payment methods, have no Apple commission or require review by Apple or even an Apple developer account to create them. Apple is not preventing anyone creating web-app software to run on an iOS device - as this would be impossible.  

This. Won’t be surprised if we see some developers do this. Or Apple could just throw Gatekeeper on iOS like the Mac has. 

Adjusting to the wearer’s eyesight. Wow. They just killed the eye glass industry. 

I think it might be time for Apple to get ahead of all this. There’s no technical reason for them to implement the same system as Gatekeeper on the Mac. App Store only, Apple Certified Apps and App Store. More than likely Apple wouldn’t allow Any Downloaded like the Mac does. What would be interesting to see is how many people would still use the App Store, if just for the ease of the payments. I for one think it’s the best way to pay. Certainly don’t want to go back to buying software from who knows where online again. 

“ Zuckerberg argued that, by default, Apple's Messages app stores non encrypted "backups of your messages." This means, he said, that, "Apple and governments have the ability to access most people's messages."

Remove the stickers? They barely take up space. Can’t possibly cost that much and it’s a great marketing tool. I can’t tell how many cars I see with that sticker on the rear window. Or on a book bag, water bottles, bicycles. Hell, I saw one once slapped over a Dell logo on a laptop once.
