With the current power of Apple ecosystem, I still wonder how long will 30% fee exist.
It is monopoly, isn't it?

Worse now, is that android is getting increasingly limited in term of side loading and rooting limitations.
But it's not like people are forced to use apple, nor should we force apple to stop taking their tax. But with great money comes great responsibility, Apple should be 30% financially liable for anything that happens to the makers of the apps they host as well. Not sure if it s legally valid, but we can make it so.
"You want your app on the app store? We want a cut, or the app may have an accident. Spontaneously combust or something. These things happen, you know."
Yeah that's totally it. It couldn't be that people like to have a phone that gets security updates for more than 2 years. Or having an AppStore that is policed in any meaningful way that keeps blatant spam and data-slurping apps out. Or any other numerous things that the Android ecosystem is totally fucked up on.
I love Apple haters- They rarely ever make sense and just come off as bitter.
Whether I hate or love Apple as a company doesn't (inversely) weigh in on my opinion on Google - same sh*t different mafia :)
To be fair, I "love" (some) Apple products and software, though they tend to be older incarnations. (But that's true for almost anything - newer versions become too "loud" for me.) Conversely, I "hate" some business practices (and tech choices).
But I'm not a fanboy of either, I just occasionally come across their products.
And I agree on the comment on the Android ecosystem. Which goes some way to say that a totalitarian mafia is better than a laissez-faire mafia.
I wonder whether this also means that cathedrals are better than bazaars?
Tesco has a monopoly on Tesco.
