Blocking Stores
Recently, after an Apple Terms of Service change the
Audible
and
Amazon Kindle
apps had to update their apps removing links to their respective online
stores. I'm assuming this is to force people to use the iTunes and iBooks
stores instead. I think this is anti-competitive in its own right, but there
is another problem I see for Apple here...
Apple has deliberately ruined the user experience for me on their devices! I
can now buy books easier on other devices than I can on the iPad.
I do not feel compelled to use Apples stores instead because I already use
these other services.
I wonder if this will ever cause people to stop using Apple products?
