Epic willfully violated the TOS and went out of their way to rub it in Apple’s face. That’s a given.

Apple may be allowed to do everything they’re doing by contract and more.

I’m a big Apple fan but they are just... crazy on this. They seem to be going way too far and just being outright spiteful. Far far more than Apple usually does. And they’re scaring a big chunk of their developer base in the process.

I don’t know what they’re thinking, but I think they’re heading towards a Pyrrhic victory at best.

If keeping control of what apps get installed on an iPhone costs them good will with lots of developers, I think Apple is willing to make that sacrifice.

Epic has already shown that they will go to great lengths to get what they want, would you trust them with your customers medical data?
