I wonder what exactly is going on. Trump administration looking for ways to put pressure on Apple?
- CodyReichert 10y agoWell he does use an Android, so it wouldn't surprise me if that was 100% correct.
- imron 10y agoYes, I'm sure it's that, rather than say Apple making sure it conforms to existing (e.g. pre-Trump) U.S. law /s See: https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/31/560.204 https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/31/560.204
- toast0 10y agoWhen google play was embargoed, android developers in Iran (and elsewhere) could publish apks on their websites to distribute to users inside Iran. When the apple app store is embargoed, you have to work a lot harder :(
