Finally someone who gets the problems with Apple’s recently announced subscription / in-app purchase policy. Instapaper developer Marco Arment nails it:
But one argument that Apple should care about: this policy will prevent many potentially great apps, from many large and small publishers, from being created on iOS at all.
A broad, vague, inconsistently applied, greedy, and unjustifiable rule doesn’t make developers want to embrace the platform.
Android’s installed base is now large enough that a huge, compelling new service could launch exclusively on it. (It wouldn’t be easy, but it’s possible.) What if the developer of the next mobile killer app decides, for political or economic reasons like this, to release it only on Android?
A few curious paradoxes:
And what about a situation like Amazon’s Kindle app that will presumably be targeted for not selling Kindle books via IAP, even though Amazon’s catalog is so large that it surpasses Apple’s own limits on how many IAP items an app can register?
There are a lot of first- and third-party apps that access Salesforce, LinkedIn, and 37signals’ services, all of which have paid service tiers. Will all of these be removed from the App Store if they don’t build in IAP?
Apple needs to clarify many points of In-App Purchases for developers and content publishers, and quickly.
Once again, Steve Jobs is poised to pull a surprise out of his hat.
Apple’s 500,000-square-foot North Carolina facility, long thought to be a server farm set to power the company’s cloud-based services, turns out to be nothing of the sort.
According to the folks at scoopertino, the facility is actually the world’s largest vault — where Apple will stash the $60 billion treasure it holds in reserve.
Each of four connected vaults are designed to hold a different type of asset. One of the largest vaults, measuring over 140,000 square feet, is dedicated to US currency — kept crisp by an advanced climate control system. Apple engineers are already at work to reduce the amount of space needed for currency, co-developing a million-dollar-bill with the U.S. Treasury.
“Smaller†vaults (measuring 75,000 and 95,000 square respectively) will house Bonds & CDs and special Apple-designed gold bullion.
Incoming bullion awaits an Apple-engineered smelting process to ensure that it meets the Apple gold standardThe largest vault in the facility — covering a mind-numbing 230,000 square feet — would make Jack Sparrow blush. Here, pirate-style, Apple plans to store jewels and contraband in overflowing chests. This jives with recent rumors that Apple Stores will soon be accepting jewelry from cash-strapped patrons.
But don’t think Apple has taken its eye off the cloud. A small broom closet near the facility’s southeast service entrance houses the servers that will provide cloud-based magic to Apple’s customers when and if the company sees fit.
Public tours of Apple’s North Carolina facility will begin June 1st. Admission is $29, payable in cash or bullion.
