Agree with Mary. Apple is guilty of lots of stuff, but not in this case.
From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Mary Otten Sent: Sunday, May 11, 2025 10:52 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: It appears StarPlayRx is dead No. Apple took it down because the SiriusXM Monopoly told them to. If they told Google the same thing, had that app been available there, Google would’ve had to do the same thing. Then the developer would’ve had to go to some possibly very questionable third-party App Store for sideloading and then you get to let in all kinds of crap. No. The problem is the monopoly system with corporations, not with Apple doing what they were asked to do by the monopolistic rights holder.
