Apple Fights Back Against Ruling Requiring External Payment Options
Apple appeals court rule that requires it to allow external payment options in apps, aiming to retain control over its ecosystem,
Die apple. All your innovation and vision died with Steve Jobs, now you're a shambling corpse infecting everything you touch. Just die, it's time...
Steve Jobs was an old quack business man. he didn't invent shit.
Sure, he wasn't an engineer, so no, Jobs never personally "invented" anything. But Jobs at least knew what was good and what was shit when he saw it. Under Tim Cook, Apple just keeps putting out shitty unimaginative products, Cook is allowing Apple to stagnate, a dangerous thing to do when they have under 10% market share.
Gotta protect that illegal, anticompetitive trust at all costs.
However, this U.S. court order is inconsistent with the Apple App Store business standards
This is terrible writing. The court order is inconsistent with the Apple App Store business standards? No. The court ruled that Apple's business practices were illegal.
USA's press has a corporate bias, because you know, we need to care about the corporations, as if they had feelings, and not the exploitive entities that they are.
This doesn't seem to be the mainstream press, but a small tech blog. Mainstream American news outlets have been far more straightforward in their coverage of this case.
Furthermore, this case was a fight between two large corporations; there's no little guy here. Smaller developers may benefit from the outcome though.
I will never support Apple because of their anti-consuner practices.
I’m never giving epic games a dime, I can assure you if that.
This is one of those things many people seem to think will be a win but will actually suck once every app is able to charge you directly.
There is no pattern of facts where "Apple gets to collect a tax on any transaction you make on your iPhone" is a good thing
what is wrong with app being able to charge you directly? Yes Epic is a greedy corporate entity like any other, but apple's arbritary resctrions are comical and shouldn't ever have existed, they outragous and outright ridiculous, there is a clear conflict of interest of an App store which in theory should try to attract apps with smaller cuts, but in case of Apple since they control both the OS and store they simply force a monopoly, so that they don't need to improve their store, all corporate entities eventually tend towards monopolistic anti competitive behavior that restrict market freedom in a attempt to not need to compete, usually through exploitting their position in one field, like OS, to force a their subpar product of a different field onto consumers, like a shit app store, Apple does not want competition, they fear it, that's why they use so many scummy anti competitive tactics, the entire idea of restricting an OS to only one source of apps is insane and monopolistic by nature.
