I have always considered Apple making a "Phone" with more computing capabilities, while Google was trying to a PC down to a Phone size.
And in the case I agree the Phone should not be able to side load Apps. It is locked precisely because it is a Phone. And there would be 100x fewer support calls just because of that . Remember there are 1 Billion iPhone users. I can bet 900M of them dont even know what HN or programming.
I am wondering if Apple shoudl allow iPad to side load App, given iPad is more like PC working in Tablet form factor.
And release an iPad Nano.
I mean if customer really think they should have side load Apps they would buy the Nano.
( That is of course ignoring the complexity of line up )
Personally I dont want the hassle of supporting people side loading apps and then calling for help. I would much rather Apple keep it the current way.
And I have no problem with Games being charged 30% cut.
But for some reason I think Apps and other Services should be charged 15% of less. Given Apple already split the Apps and Gaming Section in the App Store. I dont see this would be a problem.
