RE: The Apple App Store; a centralized entity blocking access to Apple Hardware Users?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
The apple store has always been kind of a gate keeper and there isn't much people can do about it. It's because the market for users who are using apple is quite large and there are also a ton of other restrictions they have such as their profit for any apple transactions.

Yes I agree. I remember in the beginning the restrictions were for our safety as Apple product users and compatibility. Everything in the Apple ecosystem was focused on ease of use and peace of mind.
But the increasingly conflicting role of protecting your users, preserving the the Apple cocoon of easy to use and the undeniable ability to charge fees for access to Apples captive user base within the walled garden of the Apple Operating System is increasingly an issue for users and application developers. The world is moving away from the Web 2.0 economic model, but the largest and richest companies have little incentive to change.
While Apple may feel invincible now, it’s wise to remember that it wasn’t to long sho that Facebook felt invincible also.
Whenever you think someone is too big to fail, remember Goliath, remember IBM, remember Blockbuster and remember Facebook before Instagram, and TikTok.
Being on top of a business niche is like sitting on a throne made of swords and spears. It’s a wonderful accomplishment, but it’s hard to sit there for very long.
