More and more governments are realizing Apple taxing every developer 30% of revenue and banning entire categories of apps without any alternative is an overreach.
Imagine if Microsoft did this with Windows. We’d be up in arms yet it’s tolerated when Tim Apple does it.

Apple’s spam email to my business' new Apple-account email:
- Unsolicited commercial email (…in other words: spam)
- I never opted in to receive emails
- Promoting paid services
- A prominent X logo (why?!)
- No unsubscribe link!
You gotta be a real fucking nazi if you think now is a better time than a year ago to purchase ad space on Elon Musk’s X
I just wanted to say that I'm so incredibly thankful for the *hundreds* of encouraging messages we've gotten from readers – old and new – regarding our decision to take MacStories off Meta platforms.
I'm even more grateful to see people signing up for the @club or upgrading their subscriptions to support us. Now more than ever, an independent site like @macstories depends on its readers to keep growing after 16 years.
Thank you. 💛
