It’s pretty astounding if this isn’t flagged as monopolistic behavior.

I’m not opposed to Apple introducing a system keyboard as a clone but the independent developer should not be strong-armed off their platform.

Honestly it just shows weakness of character for the entire Apple company. This is no different than voter suppression when candidates can’t garner votes from the public legitimately.

Oh wait, I guess half the government is fine with voter suppression and whining like 4 yr olds about voter fraud.

That’s the new Apple for you…

Then again, they have the power and capability to make this move. Whose to blame them? A keyboard is something that should be locked down from a security standpoint and a fundamental piece of the system.

That being said you won’t catch me ten feet near an Apple Watch as a dev. Or as a citizen—that is a huge privacy concern. Not to mention the battery life is shit. I tried one for a week and couldn’t bear to have 3 charging cables by my bed at night. I would need at least a week but 2 weeks charge would be ideal…

Not really, that is the old Apple before they had to get a Microsoft cash injection to avoid closing doors.
