    Does any MDM solution (including Apple’s own MDM) has ability to block apps from specific developer?

    I have been looking at way to block on devices managed under MDM that I am managing.

    And all of this happened because a minority operating system (iOS) started protecting users from unauthorized data collection. I guess maybe iOS users  really are more affluent and likely to spend money than  users of the majority mobile platform. 
    Perhaps users on iOS are bigger spenders than competition platforms due to their trust in iOS security?

    If those developers and consumers who are so against it and succeed in breaking the App Store model, that majority of iOS users’ trust may be broken along and destroy the entire platform’s success so far.

    And these same folks are ok with Nintendo locking Switch to its own online marketplace?

    How long more do those who supports the App Store model has to endure all these folks who are against it yet do not want to go Android?

  • Chip delivery delays stretch longer as global shortage worsens

    If there was a shortage of potatoes, that doesn't mean I couldn't buy a potato; it would mean that potatoes are more expensive. If I was willing to pay $100 for a potato, I could probably find one. 

    Does this principle of supply and demand not also apply to the global semiconductor shortage? If it applies, I'd like to see the actual price increases for select chips rather than just hear that there's a shortage. If chip suppliers are not raising their prices during a shortage, they are idiots.

    Right now there's a shortage of meat in my country, but I can still go buy meat in any grocery or restaurant. It's just that the prices are 20% higher. I guess meat suppliers are smarter than computer chip manufacturers. 
    That analogue does not fully apply to semiconductor industry as mostly, there are existing multi-year contracts in place on supply. That said, there are definitely those adhoc orders which will be more affected while those on constant supply orders will be lesser affected.

    The analogue used is also not true reflection of entire market, only a small part - B2C while B2B on annual or multi-year contracts to supply (e.g. distribution/resell to restaurants, food processing plant) are prioritised and less affected (contracts usually have a variable component for ability to raise price with a cap so it is not unlimited hike).
