Thanks man for backing me up. It seems that people have really short memories or they are too much in love with Apple the company and not Apple products.A future dominated and controlled by one big evil corporation.
Steve Jobs said this once:
Replace IBM with Apple and those with open eyes will see that it's not too far off from the truth.

Apple is far more successful with app developers than without .The Apps are more effective, they require much less marketing, There are many that are dependent on Apple technology. They are far more successful with Apple than without. They just want it for free.
I don't know what the other poster was referring to, but a store that sells Android apps in some sort of "compatibility-mode" on iOS would suck to me. I appreciate native UIs.What's an "android store"?
It's not even about the 15-30% cut. It's simply about allowing third-party payments on Dutch dating apps.What does this even mean?
The article is about Apple taking a 30% cut and preventing third-party payment methods. You can argue whether this is fair or not, but how does it improve the quality of apps? Maybe the app review process does (though there are still plenty of scams and clones), but this payment stuff is clearly just about profits.
I'm convinced that nobody on here has actually used Android or Google Play. The app store experience for end users is practically identical...
You’re not early, you’re late. This was discussed early in in the thread.May be I am too early, where are the pull out of Netherland crowd?
Why do dating services even need apps, they could run their services through websites and keep 100% of the profit from any fees they charge. 100% is more than 70%.

What is the benefit of thisThey promised to keep innovating and bring in new ideas. But now they are too busy trampling over others to milk dry their large cash cow that is their loyal user base.
1. No USB C on iPhones.
Seems like more of a developer issue.2. No Pro apps on iPad Pro.
Makes plenty of sense. This is Steve’s model. Why should Tim open it up?3. Locked down App Installation even in 2022. Which makes no sense.
With over 1 billion devices, should apple ship hundreds of millions to satisfy those who want a new cable.4. Chargers no longer ship with the device.
Because the prices of components increased and apple held the line even though it may have had a gross margin drop?6. No compensation for that or price drop for missing accessories.
So apple does t have to produce undress of millions?If its really for the environment, why do they sell the charger separately?
No they haven’t.Apple is really gone too far with this.
When an individual posts to the classifieds, the news paper gets 100% of the fee.
Why is it an overreach? Developers are free to use outside payment methods. The Netherlands didn’t say developers can steal. Honestly, Apple should be charging more than 30% to cover the increased overhead.As a developer, I don't think it's unreasonable to request different binaries if they behave differently.
But what I'm surprised that this article doesn't mention that apparently Apple still wants developers that charge outside of the App Store to pay 27%... wasn't the case?? If so it's still really an overreach.
Apple's control-freak culture comes directly from Jobs himself. He was not a libertarian when it came to Apple's products at all (he didn't even want an app store). Maybe a libertarian when it came to paying taxes.And it wasn't just an Ad. Steve was fully aware of the Orwellian future. From his philosophy all they way down to how he see things. He is very much a libertarian.
Tim Cook, not so much. You can tell by his talks and his philosophy.
Probably 1 billion people would disagree with the above.Apple. Good lord

I'm not sure how any small devs could be unhappy with Apple. Billion dollar app companies want another billion so I can at least see where the greedy tools are coming from but what more could small devs want? Less than 15%? Free? I don't think that small devs truly think everything should be free. However they see these big app companies making billions and they are saying Apple is over charging so I think they jump on the band wagon, but I'm afraid that shortsightedness is going to cost them in the long run.Frustrating to see Apple continue to destroy their reputation among developers for short-term profits. Even from a purely business perspective, this can't be a good strategy.

5. Earpods no longer ship with the device.
6. No compensation for that or price drop for missing accessories. If its really for the environment, why do they sell the charger separately? Why not just allow anyone to get it for the same price if they need it. Or give us a Apple Store voucher to buy it if we need.
Apple is really gone too far with this.
Explain? Apple is not destroying anything. They will keep making Apps as they all know this is the best market, no one should expect things for free, no one.Frustrating to see Apple continue to destroy their reputation among developers for short-term profits. Even from a purely business perspective, this can't be a good strategy.

You do realize Apple is a for profit company, correct?Apple is slowing becoming the very thing it promised to fight.
First it said all this protection is for consumer privacy and now that its pretty clear its for profits, apple is behaving like a Rogue tyrant that is poking elected democratic governments.
Why do they all go this way? First Google, then Lone Musk and now even Tim Apple.
Is anyone even asking for that, though?I don't know what the other poster was referring to, but a store that sells Android apps in some sort of "compatibility-mode" on iOS would suck to me. I appreciate native UIs.
Okay grandpa, it's time for bed.Who is that lame that they need an app to meet someone.
