Does apple use this to pay the tax too? In India, there is an 18% tax. Should an app has to pay 18% tax and 15% tax(totaling 33%) to apple?

I have seen several times that the author of Calibre is bashed here on hacker news when he said he won't switch the codebase from python2 to python3 (later he did this).

Here in India, we do get veg burgers. Those who prefer chicken burgers always goes for that even though it is priced higher(like 10-20% diff) than veg based burgers.

Also, we don't have pork or beef on the menu. Only chicken

I would say microsoft should make an awesome Android store for Android 12+ and lure developers and device manufactures in.

Like exclusives on Epicgames store? Like that competition?

And if consoles are forced to allow alternative stores, we won't be able to buy these consoles at the current prices as they won't be subsidised anymore. Loss for consumers

I like both sides of the argument. I would want the Steam store in Xbox or PS. But making that probably will increase the cost of console as they cannot subsidise it.

Do you need the outside app to have access to bluetooth, location, storage etc? And if apple restricts the storage, then a company will sue apple again for the restrictions saying that the iOS photos app have unrestricted access to photos, whereas an outside app doesn't.

Then epic games, netflix, spotify and several other apps will have a tutorial on how to remove the lock, so that they can install the app or alternative appstores. And if apple makes it incredibly difficult to remove the lock, then company like Epic will sue again for making it so difficult to install 3rd party app stores (eg: Google play store)

During the previous discussions some has mentioned that they converted to a different religion

make targeted advertising opt in. Make the opt in scary like how android enables the installation of apk's from unknown sources.

> who defines 'hinder', 'adware' or 'spyware'? The new license should define this.

> A $1B limit? no problem - "we'll just send this over to our little 500M subsidiary."

The new license can acknowledge this too

The precedent that would set if the Apple/Google is forced to distribute alternative app stores via App Store/Play store. No downloading the apk and turning on installation from Unknown Sources to install it. This would also enable alternative stores on Xbox/PlayStation/Nintento etc. Steam inside Epic Games store and vice versa

As per apple's terms, you own your phone i think. Just not the iOS

What if Apple/Google is forced to distribute the alternative stores via the app store/play store?

The reason why the Fortnite outside Play store failed is because the user has to donwload the apk and toggle the installation from unknown sources.

Then Epic should have gone to the court without pulling the stunt

>AirPods have become....people buy on brand and not on quality or functionality

You should watch Verge review of oneplus buds where they compare Onplus buds and Airpods.

The receiver call quality is better than 1000MX3

Disable chrome and make firefox nightly your default browser. Amp links gets redirected to correct urls. Works for left side news feed too.

Then apple will probably start charging for API requests between iphone and ios for apps that have implemented alternative payment options.

They can do something like Sign in with apple. If you are offering an alternative payment option, there should be an apple payment option too. If they are forced to do that Apple probably won't allow different pricing for it too.

That is against TOS.

I think if apple rejects an update, the older version still exists. I could be wrong. What epic would have done after getting rejected for the latest update is pull the whole app. Then the message that appeared is correct. Apple didn't remove the older version of the app but epic

What is preventing apple from renting the phone instead of selling it? If they do that, can they do whatever they want?

Everything can be made to steam. Adobe can make all its apps steamable with a subscription, then they don't have to create separate versions for each. They even can have customized hardware in their datacenters. Maybe Apple is worried about this losing game.

i think an open source app can easily be published on altstore.

Atlassian Jira. Its Slow.

Tech, Startups where I have worked had no such discrimination

Marriage, If it's an arranged marriage 99.9% of the time, bride and groom will be of same caste.

Resso is missing

This might be for apple to introduce touch screen on macs.
