Google, Microsoft and all the others ALSO charge 30% fees. How is it highway robbery for Apple and not the rest?!

Google allows 3rd party app stores, Microsoft charges 5% (30% is Xbox which is a small business in comparison)

I am not sure that the location of the Touch ID button is user friendly.
While it should work to unlock / wake up the device, I use many apps that feature Touch ID authentication.
The home button was easily accessible, now you have to use the button on the side of the device which may not be so easy to access when the iPad lays on a table.
I would have preferred to have Touch ID in the display (as some competitors did) but maybe there’s a reason Apple didn’t do that...

Bye Bye Epic!  Seriously hope they lose.  I've said it many times, I know Apple isn't perfect, but their walled garden helps keep by stuff secure. Epic (and others) just wants to burn that down.  I'd be welcome to Apple dropping their cut, but I still think they deserve their fair share.

Apple's walled garden should continue to exist for the people who want it - all other should have the choice to buy from another app store !

It looks like target disk mode has been replaced by smb on arm Macs. I hope this does not mean that it is no longer possible to access the whole file system (including system files)!

I believe Apple will need to lower app provisions from 30% to about 15% ( Windows Store has 5%)!
Alternative app stores should be allowed too, because no single company should decide what apps can be installed.
