Sales pitch for Iphone
Apple uses the premise of apps to sell it phones which it makes money from. The apps are not developed or paid for by apple. The apps are provided either free of charge or we buy them, either way it helps apple to sell its phones which is revenue to apple.
Apple is no longer a little beaten down company and in my opinion is behaving worse than microsoft, they charge like wounded bulls, control what you can and can't put on the phone and now after companies have invested money i.e. amazon, apple wants to squeeze every drop of blood out of them, I realise its business, but we the apple users are getting the raw deal. I didn't buy an apple phone so I would have to go and manually open safari to get a book, this isn't ease of use, I could have done that without apps.
My next phone will not be an apple, I will purchase a phone where I can have any reader program, any app I choose and not be dictated to by apple. My last phone was a Jazz Jam and was a dream for me, I had mobipocket on it and could read any book from any store, ease of use, I loved it. Why is it when microsoft tried similar stuff we went up in arms but apple has being doing this sneakily for some time and they go under the radar. Just remember apple when microsoft did this they became the hackers fantasy, you are setting yourselves up and are on the same path. Ibooks in Australia is pathetic and so expensive I may as well go and buy the paper book, amazon was ease of use and now thats altered. I hate this with a vengeance.
In the end apple users will speak with their money, some android phones are just as good, I am now a very unhappy apple customer, and frankly I speak to many more who feel the same way.
