Because YouTube "is 99.9999999%" piracy? Hmmmm. Piracy on YouTube isn't 0%, obviously. But it isn't in the same league, or comparable to torrenting.

I'm not missing anything. iSH is very much an edge case. My entire point was that Quake would be allowed on the Apple Watch via the App Store. EDIT: To clarify 'very much an edge case', I mean, you can see how a non-technical

Apple doesn't believe in enabling illegal piracy, which is 99.9999999% of the usage of torrents. Twitter, web browsers, and YouTube are fine on the App Store.

And yet, you aren't rejected, and are in the store. While their interpretation of their guidelines can be ropey, as is anything handled by a human, my point still stands. Quake 1 would be allowed on the App Store.

No, they don't. There are 3D games running on the Apple Watch, available in the App Store. Mindkeeper: The lurking fear (Apple Watch)[ https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mindkeeper-the-lurking-fear/id... ]

I've never heard, or seen that before. Everything I've ever seen rejected by Apple (either personally from my own apps, clients, or from press reports) has always been a guideline issue. So, "Subjective reasons" such as?

Can you show an example? I’ve been an iOS developer for 10 years, and I’ve only ever seen/been rejected for things that fall foul of the guidelines, never arbitrarily.

by 4eleven7 4y ago
Yes, they publish their guidelines which states as such… but how is Quake 1 too simple? Downvote all you want, but within the context of Quake 1 being approved on the Apple Watch, “too simple” isn’t relevant.

Untrue. As long as it meets the technical requirements (ie, not using private APIs, doesn't excessively drain battery etc), and the licensing issues aren't a problem (some OSS licenses are an issue, as well as using the Quake asse

True, and I agree, but an 'upper cap' wouldn't be used against just the companies that we don't think provide innovation (such as Amazon in this scenario). The caps would also be used against Tesla and Apple, two very bi

Why will Amazon stifle innovation? All EA do is release the same games every year with slightly different content (FIFA, Battlefield, Madden, Sims, etc). What am I missing?
13.
by 4eleven7 4y ago
Antitrust law does exactly this. If Amazon owning EA overly concentrates market power/forms a monopoly, it'll be rejected and the deal with fail. Why would you want to put an upper cap on the size of companies? It feels like stifl

I don't fully trust my Model 3 with the 'walk away' bluetooth lock. However I do trust the 'pin to drive' (which randomly changes location on screen to foil fingerprints). And sentry mode is a new bonus, not that it
