Apple’s “monopsony” power, and the woman who named it

There is more going on besides price. The review process is also completely arbitrary. I don't like the whole thing that the only place to get apps is the app store. I will never buy any apple device as long as that is in place.

That’s exactly what keeps me buying Apple for my family and I. I credit their locked down App Store with saving me from spending hundreds of hours of my time dealing with malware over the last 10 years.

I've used android phones for a decade now and never once been affected by malware. If the issue is kids installing shady apps, you should probably use a parental lock for that.

The issue is people clicking on every link that comes their way via email or whatsapp.

And since I can’t stop them from clicking them, my only solution is to have them use iOS devices.
