Apple Faces New App Store Complaint From Chinese Developers

They have a monopoly on their product. That is legal last I looked. Save the tired memes for another day.

You said Apple didn't have a monopoly power originally. Get your facts straight.

How many countries does this make?

EU consists of 27 countries.

29 countries have alternative app stores.

Get your terminology straight. Every company has a monopoly for their own products. Apple has not been found to have an illegal monopoly.

I didn't say it's bad. Been in the states, lovely people for the most part. And the forum is actually quite funny.

Plus I don't blame Americans at all. Its the corporations and politicians paid by those corporations that brainwashed most of your people thinking that its ok to give birth and go straight to work the next week, that workers rights or minimum wages kill jobs, or that consumer rights make products more expensive. I mean just look at some of the regular posts here of ordinary people defending Apple and big corporations at all cost. Why is it ok for companies to ship inferior products or offer bad services? Why is it ok for billionaires to buy another private jet yet their workers have to live form paycheck to paycheck?

I know we got our own problems here in Europe but at least I can rant about our problems at my local pub with real unflavored beer and with snacks that are not colored with poison while enjoying my weekend after 39 hours of work with enough money to go on a 6 week paid vacation without having to gofund me first because I fell of my bike and broke a bone. Cheers!

Preach it!
This American agrees with everything you’ve said.

👏

I agree. I’m amused when people criticize Apple or other big corporations at any and all costs even when companies are right. Even when they are right or one has an option not to use their products and services. And more of what you post above is incorrect but I’m not going to address because it’s neither here nor there.

Why is it ok for companies to ship inferior products or offer bad services?

It happens. Why doesn’t the consumer exercise their rights and show these companies that sell inferior products and offer bad services the proverbial “middle finger”?

Why is it ok for billionaires to buy another private jet yet their workers have to live form paycheck to paycheck?

Because the US isn’t a socialist state. People are given the ability to flourish or flounder. That is why it is okay.

Anyone who has been listening, alcohol is linked to cancer. So I would cut down on the ranting.

while enjoying my weekend after 39 hours of work with enough money to go on a 6 week paid vacation without having to gofund me first because I fell of my bike and broke a bone. Cheers!

35 hour work week with 7 weeks of vacation and lower taxes to boot. Anyway horses for courses, I hope some perspective was provided.

That’s exactly what is being said. These regs are bad for all involved. Glad you agree. A race to the bottom for software quality as well.

You mean the software quality can get even worse? I hope you're not right, because then I would really start to worry about Apple's future.

Absolutely. While opinions of the quality of Apple software are all over the map, it’s a good possibility of my prognostications.

I hope you're not right, because then I would really start to worry about Apple's future.

It’s only apples future in the eu. Apple will be fine everywhere else.

Apple has a monopoly where is no alternative app stores in the US. There is alternative app stores in the EU, Japan and Brazil. Why not allow alternate app stores everywhere?
