In context:<\/strong> Apple has long kept its walled garden tightly controlled with very few customer complaints. However, the company has faced increased criticism from developers and regulators regarding its gatekeeping. Gradually, lawsuits to force it to allow outside stores to compete and mandates from regulators worldwide have eroded the buttresses of the iOS walled garden. While they have not crumbled, some say the business model is “unsustainable,” including Mark Zuckerberg. <\/p>\n

On Wednesday, The New York Times hosted<\/a> its annual DealBook summit. Tech industry professionals and journalists attended to see and hear leaders throughout the sector espouse their opinions on everything from the future of cryptocurrency to mounting pushes for more stringent regulations for some of the more prominent corporations.<\/p>\n

A chat with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed<\/a> that he does not think Apple can continue walling off iOS from other app stores that want to compete against it for iPhone customers’ business. He believes that isolating apps to only the App Store so that Apple can collect a 30-percent commission from every app and all in-app sales is not “sustainable or good.”<\/p>\n

“Of the major computing platforms, Apple stands out,” the Zuck said. “It is the only one where one company can control what apps get on the device. I don’t think it’s sustainable or good. [Unlike a government], Apple obviously has [its] own interests [and] the fact that companies have to deliver their apps exclusively from platforms controlled by competitors \u2014 there is a conflict of interest there.”<\/p>\n

He pointed to the recent dustup this week between Apple and Elon Musk as an example of what can happen when a single company has complete control over a platform. Musk alleged that Apple threatened<\/a> to remove his newly acquired Twitter app from the App Store over content moderation. Musk has since said that it was all a misunderstanding and that the two are again on good terms. However, such was not the case when Epic Games butted heads with the Cupertino powerhouse.<\/p>\n
