Apple Faces New App Store Complaint From Chinese Developers

Good grief. I want it for free is where this is going. Hoping Tommy can use some of his charm to get this thrown out.

When someone operates with monopoly power in providing important goods or services, civilised societies regulate it.
Nothing crazy about it at all.

100% agree. But it’s not Apple that operates any part of its business with monopoly power.

And here you are using an American based forum.

... that was founded by a Canadian. 🤣

Apple doesn't operate any part of it's business with monopoly power? They only allow apps sold on their app store and force competitors to use webkit on iOS devices. If that's not a monopoly then I have a bridge to sell you.

 

[now i see it]

Every developer hates the App Store terms. Has been this way since the first iPhone. Might as well sue every company that charges fees that you don’t like .

Where I was guided to from the search results of another great American company, you probably dislike.

The U.S. department of justice disagrees.
And so do I. Even if the DoJ didn‘t, I would.

We can agree to disagree.

Tommy? Timmy?

Last time I checked, my iOS keyboard includes a 🇹🇼 emoji flag (which I can also describe and find in text). And the settings app has a certain “Region” setting on offer that, I’m informed corresponds to it. Also, just this week, the orange man said that Apple is going to manufacture some chips in the U.S. instead of that region.

Timmy certainly has some Aces up his sleeve to charm China.
If more cracking down on VPN and “domestic terrorist” apps doesn’t suffice.

Of course they do.

• Rights to bear arms
• Rights for employers to exploit their employees, bust unions and fire anyone anytime
• Rights to legally screw over customers
• Rights to set up surveillance infrastructure

Lots of rights. Just different priorities. Fundamentally a governmentsceptic, first-past-the-post and „winners take (and keep) it all“ society, with little regard for balancing the interests shareholders and other stakeholders.

You missed out the right to Foist a geriatric offender onto the world stage as leader. Well done U S A (repeat ad nauseam)!!

They can have an opinion. It’s guilty until proven innocent. Correct?

We can agree to disagree.

We do disagree. On that we agree.

Tommy? Timmy?

Same person.😉

Chinese complaining about monopolies and unfair competition?

Just tell them the CPP mandated that level of fees. Problem solved!
