Here is how the death rates compare. Shown is the average over the last week.
Because deaths are following cases I’d expect that after the recent divergence in case rates we’ll see divergence in death rates in the weeks ahead.

Vor 30 Jahren verscherbelt Thilo Sarrazin für die #Treuhand das Volksvermögen der Ostdeutschen. Kurze Zeit später werden viele von ihnen arbeitslos. Kurze Zeit später kaufen viele von ihnen die „Thesen“ von Sarrazin mit echtem Gild.
Das war Alman Geschichtsstunde mit Mohamed 🙏🏽

Please keep the emails coming. blog at stratechery dot com. Full confidentiality guaranteed, and we can switch to Signal if you prefer. I'm pretty staggered at what I am hearing, from companies of all types and sizes and business models, and I don't say that lightly.

We have now moved into the "genuinely sad" part of this saga where I am learning about apps that have been in the store for years serving the most niche of audiences being held up for what, a few hundred dollars a month?

Earlier this year, we had to remove in-app signups for @nutshell. This had tripped us up a few times in the past, but in Feb it became a hard line. Ours is B2B SaaS, and since a business can’t pay for an employee’s license via IAP, it was never pushed as a requirement.

Multiple emails, several of which will only communicate via Signal. I'm of course happy to do that, but also think it is striking just how scary it is to even talk about the App Store.
— Ben Thompson (@benthompson) June 17, 2020
Basically, if you have a subscription service(say a private email service), and you have an iOS client app for it, Apple's holding your app hostage unless you add the ability to pay/sign up for the subscription using iOS in-app purchases (of which Apple takes 15-30%).
— Chris Iverson (@VersonIJC) June 17, 2020
I have now heard from multiple developers, both big and small, that over the last few months Apple has been refusing to update their app unless their SaaS service adds in-app purchase. If this has happened to you please email me blog @ my site domain. 100% off the record.

Here in Thailand, we've had 3150 cases and 58 deaths in a country of 74 million. We've all been masked up since early in the year. Why are people in my home country so hard headed? Why won't govs make masks mandatory? Insane

My DMs and HEY account is blowing up with stories from other developers who've been shaken down under 3.1.1 as well. I really hope @vestager and friends in the EU gets somewhere with this new investigation 🙏

Apple's abusive behavior with the App Store has been an open secret in the developer community for years. But very few people are interested in talking to regulators or the press, because you don't want to get on Apple's bad side, or you might get crushed. https://t.co/SiK4LbzEzF

We've invested millions of dollars, and years of effort, into building HEY. We're already taking on Google's stronghold of Gmail. Listen, I don't mind a loop-sided fight, but we can't run a business wrestling Google with one arm and Apple with the other. It's just too much.
— DHH (@dhh) June 16, 2020
I hear from a little bird that March was the date for the new, extractive stance. The policy 3.1.1 didn't change, but Apple apparently decided in March that it could be a growth opportunity to start enforcing it harshly. That's why old apps haven't been hit yet. Just fresh prey.
— DHH (@dhh) June 16, 2020
This certainly does not get any better by the fact that we're technically competing with Apple head-on now. Apple sells email services as part of their iCloud bundle. So not only are they running the only shop in iPhone town, they're also selling their own competing service.
— DHH (@dhh) June 16, 2020
Apple sees no need to even justify these discrepancies, because this is what ultimate market power affords you. Apple's review literally said on the phone, when we raised these objections: "We are not going to talk about other apps". Abusive is case by case.
— DHH (@dhh) June 16, 2020
But this is preposterously false and inconsistent. The Basecamp app has been in the App Store for YEARS offering access to a subscription bought elsewhere. The store is FULL of apps doing just that. Even other email apps! A few examples we compiled: pic.twitter.com/MYC1KF1Xfr
— DHH (@dhh) June 16, 2020
Here's the rejection letter. I love how they frame their shakedown as "offer customers the option". Not a single mention of the fact that Apple will take 15-30% of our business through this. THIS IS ALL JUST FOR THE CONSUMER GOOD, YOU SEE. pic.twitter.com/rzQbsfCHvs
— DHH (@dhh) June 16, 2020
We've been in the App Store with Basecamp for YEARS. We know the game. It was always rigged. It was always customer-hostile, deeply confusing, but the unstated lines were reasonably clear. Now Apple has altered the deal, and all we can do is prey they don't alter it further.
— DHH (@dhh) June 16, 2020
I don't think people understand. We did everything we were supposed to with the iOS app. Try downloading it (while you can?). You can't sign up, because Apple says no. We don't mention subscriptions. You can't upgrade. You can't access billing. We did all of it! Wasn't enough.
— DHH (@dhh) June 16, 2020
Yesterday was such a happy day. We've worked so diligently for over two years to make HEY. The press and customer reactions were making me euphoric. To have Apple, of all companies, be the ones to piss in our puree, and ruin that moment, is just personally heartbreaking 💔😩
— DHH (@dhh) June 16, 2020
There is no chance in bloody hell that we're going to pay Apple's ransom. I will burn this house down myself, before I let gangsters like that spin it for spoils. This is profoundly, perversely abusive and unfair.
— DHH (@dhh) June 16, 2020
But while I'm sure Apple's attempt to cut off the air supply to the likes of @spotify is board-room stuff, I think what we're facing is simply the banality of bureaucracy. Apple has publicly pivoted to services for growth, so KPIs and quarterly targets trickle down.
— DHH (@dhh) June 16, 2020
This is exactly the issue I gave testimony in front of congress earlier this year! We hadn't yet launched HEY, but I said it worried me, what Apple might do, if you're in direct competition with them. And now we know what they'd do. Attempt to crush us. https://t.co/HIBuzk1ilv
— DHH (@dhh) June 16, 2020
Apple has been capriciously, inconsistently, and in a few cases, cruelly, enforcing their App Store policies for YEARS. But most of the abuses were suffered by smaller developers without a platform and without recurse. Apple saw that it worked, and that it paid. Now moving up.
— DHH (@dhh) June 16, 2020
It's clear that Apple feel like they're now so far above the trifling concerns of antitrust law that even while under the scrutiny of regulators and justice departments on TWO CONTINENTS, they can still afford to tighten the screws. Gotta make that pivot to services pay!!
