Of course the "risk" is primarily to Apple's own business interests - competition with Apple's own apps and services.

There is a benefit, though. If there was competition between app stores on the iPhone, the quality and quantity of apps available to iPhone users would increase substantially. App …

Thanks, I wasn't aware of those Linux laptops, and will definitely check them out. I hadn't seen the Zephyrus G14 either. How great to have so many choices!

Watch out, you are sitting on a ticking time bomb. It's just a matter of time.

I feel your pain. I would encourage you to grow and develop your audience on Android. There is a big market there to be tapped, which with some effort could equal or exceed your re…

The difference is, they don't then lie to the public and to Congress about it, as Apple and Tim Cook have now done.

Thanks, I'll give it a try! I'm looking forward to testing out Win-Kex also.

Absolutely, yes, but if you are writing your own apps rather than being paid to write apps for other people, there's a strong luck element as with any entrepreneurial activity. I h…

As an app developer myself, with apps on both the Google Play Store and the App Store with over 250K monthly active users, I have become so frustrated with Apple's arbitrary and ca…

I would love to see a similar list for de-Apple-ing. Apple's anticompetitive and monopolistic practices with the App Store, the terrible direction MacBooks have taken, its price go…
