Respite

It is a pretty dumb review denial, but I get how it edges on the productivity app space that Apple wouldn’t want to lose out revenue on. 

What revenue is Apple deriving from calendaring?

Where's the spite?  It's genuine Apple history, and adds some element of functionality, so they've essentially done exactly what Apple asked while giving a bit of an Apple history plug and a plug to Stephen Hackett's calendar with artwork.

If they were somehow delivering a history of every dumb policy reversal Apple had done over app rejections then maybe that would qualify as spiteful.

What Apple is saying does make sense. You can't purchase an app in the Mac store and use it on your Apple Watch or your iPhone. Every one of those devices has its own unique OS. So it is true that the App Store isn't really monolithic. 

So?  I can walk into GameStop and buy a PS5 game and a Xbox game that each don't work on the other console.  Doesn't mean I visited two stores.

Hell, Apple gift cards work across all their stores, it's very clear that they're a network.  

This is a silly and transparent attempt to worm out on a manufactured technicality.  This attempted avoidance of the issue does Apple no favours legally, just makes them look slimy.

Where do you stick the key?

Halfway tempted to book a flight over there, I'm getting a little tingle of excitement over this.  Sure it's no iPhone, but I still think it's going to be amazing.
