Apple Faces New App Store Complaint From Chinese Developers

[gummybear2026]

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.

 

[gummybear2026]

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.

You mean the software quality can get even worse?

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?

In fact America IS a socialist state as an American friend used to say, but whereas social benefits in the rest of the world are for all and especially for those in need in the US socialism is for the rich only. They get their tax breaks, they get stadiums paid for by the state, they get bailed out when they fail, big farm corporations get billions in direct payments, the beautiful clean American coal and oil get low taxes, public money goes to the rich military corporations, Intel TMSC and even big rich Apple get paid to build factories in the US.

Not a true statement at all.

They get their tax breaks, they get stadiums paid for by the state,

“They” negotiate give and take with government when a huge capital investment is going take place in an area. Are you telling this forum the US is the only place in the world this happens?

they get bailed out when they fail,

Who is they? The EU also protects it’s own, clear evidence of socialism in the EU.

big farm corporations get billions in direct payments,

They should. Food is important and a lot of that food feeds the world for free.

the beautiful clean American coal and oil get low taxes,

What’s your point, the energy sector critical to US infrastructure gets a helping hand, which imo they shouldn’t be. But so what?

public money goes to the rich military corporations, Intel TMSC and even big rich Apple get paid to build factories in the US.

The conclusion, none of these business practices do not support your original assertion.

It’s amazing how many Americans don’t understand what you are saying.
It’s very socialist for the connected and rich people.

So many Americans are “temporarily embarrassed millionaires”.
If folks would actually vote their actual interests, not aspirational ones, it might change eventually.

It’s also amazing how many Americans disagree with that take and then say, oh that will never happen here.

I agree Americans should vote their hearts.

Well that’s my whole point. The concept of a social society is that everyone contributes so everyone benefits. The difference is that while the rest of the world socializes costs for the public good, the US only does it for big corporations and the rich. The poor get nothing. Yes our taxes are high in Germany but we actually get a return on our investment: free healthcare, free education and great public transport.

The above is an uneducated statement.

The poor get nothing.

There are numerous public assistance to support those less fortunate.

Yes our taxes are high in Germany but we actually get a return on our investment: free healthcare,

Our taxes are lower and with that difference I can invest my money into the best healthcare programs.

free education and great public transport.

Best schools above high school. As far as public transport comparing Germany to NYS, one would say NYS has great public transportation.

Anyway we’ve gone far enough off-topic to the original thread. Glad you enjoy your life as I enjoy my life on the eastern seaboard.
