I don’t think they’re seen as evil monopolists, as you’ve described. That’s quite frankly just your opinion because Apple won’t let you do what you want. Again, you’re talking around me. My argument is I buy their products because I know my device can only execute programs they explicitly signed off.

>just like all the other inmates.

You’re arguing in bad faith and launching into personal attacks. :)

No one is crushing competition in the app space. Don’t do bad things and I’m sure Apple will list your app on their App Store. Your exaggerations of monopolizing are merely that — exaggerations. We have 13 year olds selling apps or giving free apps on Apples App Store. They literally brought the idea to the masses and executed it flawlessly.

If you don’t like it, you’re welcome to go create your own phone and your own App Store. No one is stopping you, and no you’re not entitled to run whatever code on peoples phones... especially when those people don’t know what they might be downloading.

Since you’re venturing into personal attacks, I’m not going to engage any further.
