@gruber @reckless What Apple thinks the injunction means …doesn’t matter. It’s the court’s guideline now. Maybe the judge is fine with requiring the button to open Safari, or is okay with popping an in app browser, or thinks it should allow a fully native in-app flow. — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

@gruber Right. Apple can clearly require that its own in-app purchase button be included as an option on all apps. I’m not sure what you’re even arguing here? — PolitiTweet.org

Ayyy. After the NYT dropped the standard Across Lite format for distributing its crossword, Red Sweater went ahead and reverse engineered the code it uses to put it on its website and then got it working inside Black Ink. https://t.co/VtXe7IT26Z — PolitiTweet.org

Apple won the vast, vast majority of issues Epic tried to bring up, but also I feel like all of those were long shots. But there is an actual win in all those losses (anti-steering), so I’m fascinating by Epic’s rhetoric here. https://t.co/bRnco5akN5 — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

@gruber requiring that they allow buttons does not necessarily equal in-app purchases, of course. — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

@gruber that seems like a misreading to me. It is a list of things that apple can't prohibit in "apps and their metadata," and that list includes "buttons, external links, or other calls to action that direct customers to purchasing mechanisms" — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

@reckless @pkafka An attempt to create a more general rule now that could stand up to future technological / policy changes rather than have a very narrow rule that could be avoided somehow in the future? — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

Just look at the last two weeks of policy changes — all of which were things Apple was made to do, not things it proactively chose to do. It’s so weird to see this company on its back foot. But this + CSAM — just a lot of backpedaling! — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

I’ve been thinking about how much faster things are moving in the past few weeks on App Store policy. Wanted to prove my hunch was right so I ...had to make a complete timeline of the major policy changes Apple has made over the years. It’s a lot! https://t.co/rYNSMogRXr — PolitiTweet.org

@reckless "And I’m confident Apple will try to say that “button” just means what something looks like, while developers will say that “button” means how something works. (There is a lot of irony in this for Apple.)” — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

Here’s @reckless on the important sentence in today’s ruling. There is a real “where does the comma go and does that change things like with the first amendment" vibe to all this! https://t.co/5SrZT50lgb — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

Another way of looking at this whole fight that is valid and paints both Apple and Epic in a bad light: This is really about who gets to make a ton of money off just a few whales. The house always wins, and both Apple and Epic are arguing over who gets to be the landlord. https://t.co/KMoD4DaUrM — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

Well, here’s something Apple is going to be excited to cite in the coming months: the judge does not think a case has been made that iMessage is a form of lock-in. https://t.co/2AlnhFxTqe — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

Apple’s Preview app on the Mac beachballing and freezing every time I try to search for something definitely feels like it’s actively trying to keep me from understanding this Epic v. Apple ruling. — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

This, really, is the heart of Apple’s mistakes with the App Store. Somehow it believed that if it actively made changes itself, all would be lost. So instead it just chose to react, react, react, react. https://t.co/9bta5xVtLr — PolitiTweet.org
