#3As others have said, what Apple is doing here isn't so much "anti-competitive" as filling a regulatory void with consumer- and privacy-friendly requirements/suggestions -- something that is possible in a practical sense because of their natural monopoly over their own platforms.

”Reuters notes that Apple has a second requirement– sorry, ‘suggestion’ which goes beyond this.
Apple Inc will ask developers to position a new “Sign on with Apple” button in iPhone and iPad apps above rival buttons from Alphabet Inc’s Google and Facebook Inc, according to design guidelines released this week.”
If done by the hand that feeds you, the line between “suggestion” and “order” is fairly thin, and ‘order’ could be interpreted as misusing the power they have to push a new ‘product’.

#5WOW!
> Sign In with Apple will be available for beta testing this summer. It will be required as an option for users in apps that support third-party sign-in when it is commercially available later this year.
As an Apple user I like this a lot but damn... That is going to ruffle some feathers. Does this mean Spotify must now offer a signin with Apple button? (since they do FB signin)

#6This is going to kill all social network startups. It’s almost impossible to go viral without Facebook invite feature.

Good. Hopefully we can move past the era of their destructive business models.

#8I've been reading a lot of discussion about the Apple Sign In in the past few days and none of the comments mentioned the following: if you use Apple Sign In, you will only be able to use it to access your account(s), because it will (if I understood correctly) generate different email addreeses for each OAuth consumer service. Right now, if I want to, I can log in using either Google or Twitter as long as the web app supports it, because Google and Twitter both give the service the same email address. Now, I realize the whole point of this is giving more privacy to the end user, but it also locks in the end users to use only Apple Sign In for all services they logged in once via Apple Sign In. As somebody mentioned it already in a different thread, it would've been so much better if there was an open standard for this...

What do you mean? You can still have the Facebook login button?
