Re: ProtonMail vs Apple
If you sell chocolate chip cookies and the majority of the people buy your cookies, does that make you a monopoly? If Ford designs a new car should they be forced to make companies like Chevy be able to use Chevy parts on the Ford car? Anyone can make cookies, cars, computers and mobile devices if they have the desire and money. Apple does not prevent you or others from making software or computers. My personal thought about the 30% fee Apple charges to sell your software is that it’s a really good deal. Apple list your product allowing many millions of people to see and buy it. They handle all the global sales and taxes plus provide a way to download it. If your software is making a lot of money part of the money you are paying Apple would have been added in taxes due to you making more profit. If you have an app that many schools or other types of business want to buy Apple can make that deal better than most small developers. To me that seems cheap compared to the increased sales that Apple can make with large companies. But each developer has their own reasons for using Apple or not. JB > On Aug 10, 2020, at 2:45 PM, J.

Re: ProtonMail vs Apple
Yes, Apple's approach is very proprietary. But it is simply not monopolistic. Apple does not have a monopoly on smartphones or smartphone OSes. What they do have is a very strict proprietary control of their products. Some argue an overly strict control of their products. I like my Rolls Royce Phantom, but it's so unfair of Rolls Royce not to offer a Phantom with an engine from Volkswagen! ;) As a consumer or developer if one doesn't like Apple's products and policies simply choose to buy and develop elsewhere. If enough folks do likewise, Apple will soon change as sales plummet. They did this back in the 90s when they were hanging by the thinnest thread and allowed other vendors to sell Mac-compatible hardware. And yes, our laws may indeed need to be adapted for 21st century realities. I'm going to stop now and this is recursion! ;) Jim Lambert ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
