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 ‬

First day with Hey. Love it so far. A bit disorienting at first. Old habits don’t die easily. Forwarded five email accounts. A few email source already screened out. A few clips created from Mailbrew’s Newsletter that I receive. A few tags too. Stay tuned for more comments. #hey

Thanks to a good samaritan, I’m now on HEY! So far so good. Strait forward onboarding. Very approahable in general. Enabled 2FA and email forwarding. Stay tuned for a more complete review sometime in the near future. 😎👨🏻‍💻

When I explained to my 17 years old boy how Hey.com is trying to re-invent email service and how cool some features are, he was un-impressed. Young generations don’t use email at all. He has 14K emails in his inbox. 😳🤦🏻‍♂️
