Under pressure, Apple CEO Cook made a decision that did not conform to Apple's traditions!
Apple's non-open iOS is a competitive advantage for the iPhone.
iOS is an operating system of iPhone, and its shutdown provides a lot of convenience to users. Thanks to the improvement of the iOS system, the iPhone can still enjoy smooth operation without enough hardware. In addition, the closure of iOS can also ensure the security and privacy of information, and Apple will strictly review any app to prevent malware and user information leakage. And, thanks to the closure of iOS, Apple Incto"Apple tax"and Apple has made a lot of money by using the AppStore for software and purchases of goods. Therefore, the closed iOS system is the biggest competitive advantage of the iPhone.
However, due to the implementation of European regulations, Apple must loosen its closure. This is due to the European Union's call for Apple to open up its side-loading feature, allowing third-party software stores to operate. Europe accounts for about 15% of the world's mobile** market, which means that Apple will have a significant share in the EU. If Apple wants to maintain its market share in Europe, it will have to make concessions first. In Europe, Apple sells 40 million iPhones a year, which is equivalent to 1 6 of its in the world, which will generate huge revenue for it. So, while violating its long-standing lockdown strategy, Apple still has to make concessions.
The effect of Apple's abandonment of the app store.
There is no doubt that Apple opened up the AppStore and provided it with a third-party software**, which is a huge change for the iPhone ecosystem. This decision was supported by some software developers, but not by other smaller developers and some users.
This, for some large developers, means that they have more flexibility in how they distribute their software. At the end of the day, Apple's harsh certifications and restrictions can make small-scale developers nervous. Therefore, for those big developers, the launch of third-party software has given them more choices and a broader space for growth.
However, for other smaller developers, this decision is not necessarily a good one. Apple has a lot of constraints on the third-party software market, which are very difficult for small-scale developers. In addition, there are some questions about people's trust in third-party programs. After all, as the number of software increases, people have to pay attention to more privacy and security issues. Therefore, most users will use the AppStore, because the AppStore provides better security and reliability.
To put it simply, Apple was pressured to open its app store. While this is a concession and a challenge to Apple, it also helps to maintain its market share and revenue in Europe. However, in order to protect users' data and the security of their personal information, Apple still needs to regulate and regulate third-party software stores.
For users, using the AppStore is a better option!
And for the average user, Apple's decision to remove the AppStore feature didn't make much of a difference. Regardless, Apple's official software**, the AppStore is the most trusted user resource. In the AppStore, you'll find all kinds of software that are reviewed and reviewed by Apple, so it's more trustworthy and safer.
In addition, the safety and reliability of third-party software** is also an issue. Although Apple has made certain restrictions on third-party software**, it does not guarantee the quality and safety of the software. At the same time, it also puts users at risk of malware, spam ads, and personal information. Therefore, most users will choose to better maintain their privacy and security on the Appstore.
Of course, for some experienced users or developers, third-party libraries can give them more options and flexibility. They can be used to meet their needs by adding more programs and features to the software**. But for the average user, it is safer and more convenient.
Mix your own perspectives and ideas.
Apple's decision to release the AppStore was certainly a concession due to outside pressure, but Apple had to do so in order to cope with the fierce competition in the international market and the needs of users. The best thing about Apple iOS is its closure, which gives you a safe, stable and peaceful experience of use. However, due to technological and market advancements, Apple has been forced to loosen regulations on its third-party software stores in order to be able to better accommodate certain users.
From the Appstore** software is still a more secure and reliable option. Since the AppStore is a formal software**, it must go through Apple's rigorous analysis and selection process before it is released to the software, so as to make the software more reliable and of higher quality. However, due to the lack of a unified certification and screening system, there is still some uncertainty about the safety and reliability of the system. Users should think carefully about security and privacy.
In general, Apple's service to the app store is limited to Europe and will not have much of an impact on users around the world. Apple still needs to continue to control the third-party software market to ensure the security of its customers' data and the privacy of individuals. For users, keeping the app store will give you more privacy and security. Although there is a lot of new software and new features, we should also raise awareness of the security and stability of software.
