Following Apples actions against FaceBook for violating the App Store ToS, Apple has aimed its sights at Google next. 
 
The Screenwise app: 
Google apparently stopped the service preemptively upon seeing Apple take action against FaceBook. This did not stop Apple from cracking down on the violation however. 
Google provided a statement:
Apple still revoked the certification to ensure enforcement. Google has not lost any certifications for its public Apps, but it will have to reapply for an Enterprise Certification, similar to FaceBook. 
 
A reminder of what Enterprise developers are allowed to use their apps for:
 
This is great news. As long as Apple continues to remain in the spotlight and fighting for consumer privacy, the public mindshare of Apple being an advocate for consumer privacy and data protection will continue to grow. If Developers cannot follow the rules of the platforms they are publishing their content on, then they will lose the right to publish said content. Follow the rules and everything is Gucci.

If you use fake currency, don’t be upset when you get conned. 
 
If it ain’t legal tender, it ain’t real. 

It isn't. The only difference there is, is the fact that Google's OS is far more widely used.
 
Europe overstepping boundaries doesn't make them right.

Unless Facebook and Google blacklist browsers on iOS.
 
That's kind of the point of proprietary stores on proprietary operating systems. Since Apple made every part of it, they have that right to control it.

Major claims require major evidence. 
 
You lack evidence, therefore you claim is meaningless. 

And that is who uses. Some major movies have been made using it, thought not many. 
 
FinalCut is popular with those people because it so affordable compared to the alternatives for small time creators. Its also easy to use and performs better than other software, its also 1st party. 

iOS users could still use web apps. 

I haven't looked into this subject too much but my feeling is that this is more an effect of laziness from Google and Facebook than it is a violation of Apples privacy policy. Basically there are three ways to easily distribute an app to iOS devices: (1) the app store, (2) to employees for internal use via this enterprise cert, and (3) via test flight which is for testing. The issue here is obviously that Google and Facebook distributed their apps via option (2) which is a clear violation of the terms of their enterprise certificate which states that apps can only be distributed to employees for internal use. So no mystery there.
 
So why didn't they just release the app in the app store? As far as I can tell it's a VPN app that logs all your data and network activity, and I would assume that all of this takes place server side. VPN apps are not banned and Apple has no control over what happens server side so technically speaking Google and Facebook could've made an app that required a login to work and only work for the Google-/Facebook accounts that have opted in to this research program. So why didn't they? My guess is that it was easier and required less work to use the enterprise certificate. Or they did more than just monitor the traffic which would potentially have been a breach of Apples privacy policy. 
 
I just looked into it a bit more before pressing submit and yeah, it was more than just a VPN, it was spyware essentially.

In other words it couldn't have been published on the app store. 

except they don't. like @DrMacintosh said sideloding apps is possible. 

@wanderingfool2 there is no monopoly. if you don't want the Apple ecosystem buy an android phone. 

if it is apps from the play store or Windows store yes. 

Yes, Apple can and will act as a gatekeeper of its own platform. 
 
You do not have the right to publish an app on the App Store, period. It is a privilege that can be revoked at any time for any reason that Apple sees fit. 
 
If you have a problem with that as a developer or as a user, then you can use another operating system, or sue. 

This! for the money you pay to buy a 1060 3Gb you can get a better card like 580 4Gb.

Steve from HardwareUnboxed did some testing.
3GB of VRAM on a GTX 1060 turns out to be OK for most modern games IF you have 16GB of system RAM. Newer games might need more.
Some titles already require more than 4GB for the VRAM allocation, so I'd rather recommend a Radeon RX 570 8GB or RX 580 8GB or even an RX 590 8GB.

Or, ya'know, Apple's control basically starts and ends with enforcing long established policies and blocking malware.
 
Whereas Microsoft's control and blocking of other browsers doesn't.

Interesting, and good to know) 
 
Ok, so let me rephrase, outside of the major cities that Apple has dramatically improved their maps service, Apple Maps is not very good)
 

Major claims require major evidence. 
 
You lack evidence, therefore you claim is meaningless. 

Apple provides all their own mapping data now. They are focusing on major cities so their maps benefit the most amount of people before they can expand out. 
 
The new enhanced map data is currently only for SoCal residents. It takes time to build these things. 
 
Though they are incredibly responsive to map feedback. I told them there should be a Chase ATM marked in a shopping center and they put it there after 2 days. 

@DrMacintosh already corrected the start of that sentence, but I can address this part. 
 
I think that is a good thing. if the average person can install whatever they want then the device will get infected with all kinds of malware in no-time. just look at a Windows laptop owned by an average person (so no adblocker, no good antivirus, original bloatware-filled OEM install. etc) and just look at the amount of crap on such a machine. 
 
EDIT: I know you're gonna say 'macOS allows anything to be installed' but the security is better. Windows just brings up a box that says this random file could harm your pc. open it? and then you can just click yes. on macOS if you download a file from a random site you get a popup saying the app is from an unidentified developer, you then have to go to preferences, security&privacy, and allow it there. much better for protecting people who don't always know what they download and open. 
 
it depends to what level. not allowing a third-party browser is crazy. 

Do yourself a favor and read what's already been posted. 

Isn't hate speech derogatory based on demographic? These are haters but I would classify "hate speech" as someone being racist or something, that's the context I've heard it most used in at least.
 
Also, what kind of idiot is going to the YouTube recommended or trending tab and complaining about the quality of the content there? They have to expect something they wouldn't like.
 
Also also, Craftnut with the dabbing roblox guy isn't actually a hater.

Also not true. 
 
Simply download the profile and application from a webpage, trust the certificate, and launch the app.....
 
Don't talk about what you don't know about.

Technically. But all iOS browsers run on WebKit which is just Safari with a skin. 

An SSD would be really nice and recommended
