There won’t be a conference hall full of developers ready to grumble at each other if it doesn’t come up - though there will be Twitter. Especially with this scandal, everything Apple has said points to the company believing it’s in the right. This is one that I don’t expect Apple to directly address, because that’s not generally how Apple rolls in the Tim Cook era. This event is about unveiling new features and the ARM transition for the Mac. There are lots of options.īut I don’t think Apple will take any of them at WWDC. It could simply give up and allow apps to use non-Apple payment systems - or it could follow Google and say only games have to use Apple’s payment system.

It could allow side-loading, as Android does. The simplest would be for Apple to drop its cut down to something less than the 30 percent (15 percent for long-term subscriptions) it currently charges and then see if that appeases everybody. What to hope for here? There are many ways it could go. It’s fun to joke about the old Steve Ballmer’s “ Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers!” chant, but he did it for good reason. It is the same way with tech companies and developers. It’s a sacrosanct group and anybody perceived to be taking advantage of them is not long for their office, regardless of party. Politicians have to proclaim their support for small business - and hope to receive support back from them.

Apple changes its App Store policiesĪpple’s 30 percent App Store cut has come under heavy fire in the last week, and though Apple could probably weather the storm of discontent, it will have a harder time recovering from the sense that developers fear Apple. My best guess is I’ll get at least one, I’d be happy with two, and I’d be elated by three or more.īy subscribing, you are agreeing to receive a daily newsletter from The Verge that highlights top stories of the day, as well as occasional messages from sponsors and / or partners of The Verge.īut everything on this list is something that users or developers have been wanting for years. I hope they happen, but I think they won’t. Do I truly believe any of these five things will happen? In truth, I think that most of these are unlikely. Some of these have actually been rumored for this year, some are things I think Apple ought to do simply because they’re necessary. That’s what you should expect, but there are five things that I’ve been wanting Apple to deliver for years. The short version: what’s most likely is a smattering of feature updates for the iOS-based platforms like iPadOS, tvOS, watchOS, and iOS and then a potentially massive shift for macOS from Intel to ARM. Not only does Apple have to hold all of its presentations online, it’s doing so to a developer audience that has become aware of a collective, unspoken discontent.Ĭhaim Gartenberg has posted our long list of features you should expect to come to Apple’s operating systems this year. On Monday, Apple will kick off its annual developer conference in the strangest and most contentious climate it has faced in many years.
