Apple’s insistence on retaining control of the iPhone and the way it’s used is not about protecting the poor stupid users that need Daddy Cook to stop us downloading dodgy stuff off the internet it’s about protecting their bottom line. Source: Apple ruins its big week | The Dent
Well said.
@numericcitizen Looking into PC complexities where you can install apps from first-party stores, third-party stores or direct downloads. Comparing of the consoles simplicity, I can see the appeal having the single source of truth for all your apps. It is important to have a place you go first.
@numericcitizen This means that most popular apps needs to remain on The App Store, because it is better user experience.
@numericcitizen Imagine Word is leaving The App Store. It is bad experience typing "Microsoft Word" in the search field and only getting template makers. That's why Apple did everything they could to Word and other big apps remaining in The App Store.
@yurkevich I agree. At the same time, I do support the idea of side-loading, because of the existence of the Mac which allows it.
