HEY, what’s next? @DHH #apple #appstore

Now, as a potential customer of HEY!, what I want to hear or read from @DHH is: what’s next? How are they tackling the problem in order to comply? Will they comply? I want to support their new platform AND their cause, but from a user standpoint, they have to put out a plan and communicate it ASAP.

My 14 days trial will end on July 1st. I want to know before making a 99$ commitment.

Hey, you’re turn now.

Hey Apple, you are in deep sh** #wwdc #wwdc2020 #appstore #iosdev

As an Apple observer for more than four decades (yep!), I rarely seen such a public relation mess like the one this week, a week before WWDC. Apple messed up big time with the worst possible timing by alienating their developers. On top of that, their definition of apps that doesn’t work upon startup is already being smashed by so many counter-examples. This is a complete mess and I don’t know how Apple will get out of this shit. If goes far beyond the 30% commission.

**This is not the Apple that I want to see, promote and embrace. **

‪“30% is way too high!!!”. Why? On what basis this is too high? What is “not too high”? And on what basis? Is it because you have no choice that you find it too high? #apple #apps #appstore #AppStoreAntitrust ‬

On Apple, education and healthcare

At the very beginning of Apple, their leadership was young and they cared about education. Apple became popular in the edu market simply because they built their products around it. They succeeded.

Now, Apple leadership is getting older and they now care about healthcare. The story repeats itself as they build many products and features around that. Will success follow? It certainly looks like it. How Apple becomes the operating system for health - Philip Elmer‑DeWitt
