I’ve always felt that writing apps for Apple devices is more like creating phone accessories than building products.

Apple cares about selling iPhones and other devices. If your idea can help them sell more, and they can do it better, they will.

I think that’s perfectly natural and OK - and what’s more, I think it’s on the app developers to understand this and to plan for it.

You might get a few years head start on Apple, but you gotta be able to read the tea leaves.
