Yup, and that algorithm just happens to weight apps where the developer == Apple significantly higher than others. Nothing to see here!![]()
When app developers can pick and choose where,when, how they can sell apps, then these cases go away. Vendors are locked into a singular place to market and are handcuffed by apples rules. The deniers will say apple owns the marketplace, too bad. OK, cool, you keep on doing that, but it then becomes litigation heaven if you do that.
If I owned a store and made products that were sold in it I'd probably put my stuff up front too.
Apple’s apps are free and functional - they should be listed first.
They're not wrong. I searched for Spotify and the first result it gave me before Spotify was Apple Music. I laughed at the notion I'd want to actually pay for that app and then scrolled down to the service with good apps.

Apple needs to release an "App Store SDK" so developers can build vetted and secure app stores of their own. Apple would still do the app reviews, but approved apps could show up on these "third-party app stores" in whatever fashion the developer chooses.
This makes perfect sense to me.
Whoop dee doo. The shocking part is that some people expect Apple to not place its own apps front and center in its own App Store. Or that an app called "Maps" would not be first when people search for "maps." Shocking!.
Was on toyota.com the other day and the only cars that came up were Toyota’s. Completely unacceptable. Needs to go to the Supreme Court.
Man - there are some really bad takes and completely incorrect analogies in this thread.
I don't care what you got. I'm telling you what I got. I've also received Netflix first when I searched for Hulu.I call BS. Just tried this and Apple Music was way down the list. I got:
Spotify
Spotify for Artists
Soundtrap
Youtify for Spotify Premium
I Feel
Quick Spotsearch
Shazam
Music Player
YouTube
Soundcloud
Unlimited Music Player
Google Play
Youtify again (different version)
Kiss App
Block Puzzle
Apple Music
No. That would be a disaster. A very small percentage of iOS users complains about the App Store. This article is bogus. Do a google search on music or email and the first results that pop up are links to Google’s own apps and services.Apple needs to release an "App Store SDK" so developers can build vetted and secure app stores of their own.

What do you need to install that you can’t get on the App Store?How about you let me installs from other source, Apple![]()
