What next? They want a cut of real estate deals from Redfin and Zillow? This is getting ridiculous. I'm old enough to remember when Comcast tried to extort Netflix because it's making money off their infra. Everyone was against that and Comcast was castigated as a villain. How come Apple's overreach and extortion doesn't get the same attention and criticism? https://twitter.com/eric_seufert/status/1584631748037468161
Imagine what happens when Apple launch AR glasses…prepare to pay 30% of everything you see
Nobody is building anything for apples AR glasses. They have poisoned the platform well forever.
Don’t see anything wrong here. That’s the rule of App Store. Fault of meta leadership to not see it coming. Two options: . Pull your app out of App Store . Or pay their cut While they were creating this platform, meta was busy creating a nonsensical app called Facebook.
Says the guy who works at Meta 😂
It’s a simple business model. You build a bridge and charge toll to people every time they pass. If they don’t like the toll then they can just pass from some other place. Aka. Android
I’ve never understood why apple was getting away with the criticism reserved to the likes of meta or google. They use indenture servants in China to manufacture their phones, they rip off app developers and they rip off their customers.
Because, in case this comment section and online discourse in general has not shown you… people are incredibly fkn dumb. Unable to think for themselves and reason things out.
People just repeat what they see on news headlines which focus almost 100% on Facebook and google and tiktok. Microsoft and apple get a free pass
How come Apple doesn’t get investigated by the FTC
The obviously dystopian theory is that they planted Airtags on FTC personnel and gathered some compromising info.
They want a cut of IAP. If app producers don’t want to pay it, they can conduct the transaction via web. As Amazon does for its digital content.
They force app vendors to offer IAP, (except for Amazon and Netflix). They would not let you offer only wen purchases. That's the complaint of Fortnite, Spotify and all!
A case decided over a year ago.
Imagine if they do the same for Uber or Doordash. Government may be on them in a few years if they continue.
Yes at this point Apple is that one company that’s being most unethical with its business practices
For real, all you had to do was think for exactly 2 seconds to realize that you’re wrong. Only thing worse than such a blatantly incorrect statement is the idiots who like your comment
Meta's leadership has problems, but that's an entirely different topic. How did Meta's leadership being stupid excuse Apple's obvious extortion?
Didn’t know metaverse was gonna be free for all with no fees, is the hardware free too?
Apple is not doing anything wrong. Meta’s business model is flawed.

What happens when most of your team is Indian?
Write to your congressman. Oh wait, that lobbying money will ensure nothing happens.
Yeah, it is not gonna happen in US where everything is driven by money. Even India, which is way more corrupt, had the balls to penalize google twice this month. https://www.ndtv.com/business/google-fined-113-million-in-second-antitrust-penalty-this-month-3461121
