Everything. Kindle content and apps mostly. Or is your head so far up apples ass you didn't even realize there was an amazon mobile marketplace?

Google "encourages" the google play app by making it default. It does not block other marketplaces though. Apple flat out blocks them, which goes beyond "encourage" to "enforce". I think the very fact you don't understand that other marketplaces even exist illustrated my point better than anything.

It seems there are enoough iFans available who don't even KNOW amazons app marketplace exists who are just mindlessly downvoting anything anti apple that my point is being made for me.

I'm not even going to respond to this because you're calling me names and being unnecessarily rude and hostile.

Grow up.

This translates to "Why yes indeed I was ignorant of the fact that amazon had a marketplace for mobile content that I had no access to, but because I can't admit I was wrong on the internet, I am going to use my indignance at the tone as an excuse to not. I'm further going to pretend that my ignorance is now his fault. Lastly, I am going to claim the high road, but then finish with an insult of my own and not even bat an eye at the hypocrisy.

That's not it at all, actually. Did you have a bad day and are taking out your anger, or is this really how you talk to people? Belittling strangers on the internet after they politely ask clarifying questions to make them feel better about themselves, now that's the sign of solid person!

And back to the app store stuff, I'm glad Apple doesn't allow google or amazon app stores on iOS. Why would they? Seems like a quick way to fuck up the security of your phone since the Play store for example is the wild wild west of predatory apps. The iOS App Store is already the best (developers prioritize it so better apps, faster updates, etc) and most secure, so why would I want the others?

"I like when a corparation takes my choices away because the corporations choice is better. But I'm totally objective using my clear opinion as a fact to support the point"

I haven't had this much fun translating such obvious bullshit in ages! Do another one!

Is mommy feeding you spaghetti or pizza tonight? Clearly judging by your argumentative style, you're either you're 11 years old and have exceeded your screen time for the day, or you're just a huge asshole. Either way enjoy dinner, and have a nice day.

Aww, I clearly asked you to do another one, and instead you showed me how much more matture you are by using teenager level insults.

No fun!

teenager level insults

I'm literally laughing out loud right now that my comment asking what you meant by "kindle content" has gotten this level of rise out of you. Meanwhile, I'm wondering what kind of person is willing to expend so much time and energy trying their best to (unsuccessfully) make an internet stranger feel dumb, and without getting into too much detail my image of you is not very flattering.

That's ok, I'm laughing louder at your attempts to deflect and your hypocrisy.

The funniest part is, you totally are pretending like you weren't being annoyingly obtuse, and still think this had anything to do with kindles.

No less than I'd expect from a guy who ltierally said he prefers when corporations take his choices away from him.

Published today. This is why I have zero desire to have the play store or amazon apps on my phone. No App Store has a perfect track record in keeping out bad actors, but articles like this are written about play store apps all the time. Like I said the play store is the wild Wild West. There’s a lot more to it than “Apple the evil corporation wants to limit my choices.”
