This is really why the law should come down like a ton of bricks on Apple. They aren't just bleeding everyone dry, they're also trying to prevent people from realizing Apple is doing it.

Sadly, they don't even know what's better for themselves any more.

It’s almost like Apple are trying to become the villain.

It's been like this since the beginning. Only now has Epic Games (along with slight pressure from the antitrust hearings) created the perfect PR storm to get the spotlight on Apple's practices.

Now that everyone has smart phones and phone lifetimes seem to be growing not shrinking (good job Apple) the only way for them to grow their revenue is raising the price of phones (which they've slowed down on) or "services" which are essentially milking everyone using their platform.

Seems like a surprisingly lazy political play from Facebook.

Not that I agree with Apple, just feels like a weak PR campaign.

Agreed. With the very little context from the source article (admittedly), it feels like piling on to the whole Epic controversy.
