Make a web app?

That's what I do to avoid giving Apple money.

Apple deliberately hinders Progressive Web Applications on iOS Safari, effectively stifling innovation. Look at how many requests are there on WebKit to implement many of the features/API's required.

They don't even allow competing browser engines. Chrome, Firefox etc on iOS are just wrappers around Safari.

This is where I think they might be legally vulnerable, if anywhere. Especially since Jobs initially answers the shocked reaction of 30% by "it's no big deal everybody is going to make web apps anyway."
