Do Apple's app store policies unfairly limit innovation?

article published on 24 January, 2012

One of the hallmarks of the iPhone app environment is Apple's review process.

If you have rules, then there is no innovation. By the very definition alone & the draconian nature of CrApple's business model, 'innovators' can't make their wares (sans the use of pre-existing software like Siri).

There was a cool problem solving course I had back in the 80s. One of the first projects we had was to come up with 100 ways to use a brick. You weren't allowed to use the obvious implementations at all (fireplaces, buildings, bar-b-que pits...).

After a while you start to go with ludicrous & insane ideas. Then you realize you'll have to use other items 'with' the bricks to compliment the end 'product'.

The problem with CrApple is that they want to 'control ALL of those subtleties & nuances'. And for the innovator, they don't even know when their hands are tied, much less when they have sold their soul for that first app.

From the sounds of it, Apple doesn't want any innovation with their phone unless *they* can get the credit for these innovations. The article even acknowledges that features that were brought in by third party developers were eventually added to versions of iOS. And guess who got the credit for it? It's all about perception...
