Summary
“Technology has the ability to vacuum up all kinds of data from people, and we like to provide people tools to circumvent that.”Supporting side-loaded apps would remake iOS, and it’s much easier for Cook and Apple to outline the potential downsides. Without in-app purchases, “we would have to come up with another system to invoice developers, which I think would be a mess.” If Apple let developers tell users about other payment methods, Cook said later, “we would in essence give up our total return on our IP.”Apple called an expert yesterday to describe how its multibillion-dollar research and development costs help developers, including through APIs like Metal and CoreML. Epic has pushed to make this suit cover all App Store purchases, while Apple has been trying to limit it to digital video game sales.
