Apple has adjusted its App Store rules to allow third-party payment methods. But developers will need to pay a commission for using them.

    Every company you can buy a smartphone from is “another big company that will do anything to make money, no matter how much they’re already making.” This is an issue with capitalism, not just inherently Apple. Don’t fault people for using the tool that works best for what they’re doing.

        Ones that don’t just run on Google software anyway and still support modern applications? I loved my Windows Phone, but man was it frustrating not having really any third party apps.

      I can and will fault them. Not every company you can buy a smartphone from is big. FairPhone exists, Murena exists, and if you look around you’ll probably find more.

      And even if you absolutely have to buy from a big brand, there’s no need to give that money to the richest company on the planet.
