That's the whole point of this site-- to aggregate negative Apple press. But even lacking evidence, common sense would suggest that charities would naturally be upset at being excluded from the Apple store.<br /><br />Admittedly, I'm an Apple fan who has witnessed a lot of distorted negative reporting about Apple. That being said, Apple is far from perfect, and occasionally there are also some valid criticisms. I just don't think this charity issue is one of them as I have explained in my earlier comment.Brettnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107301106676015736.post-27115439319049770592011-01-07T12:54:00.425-05:002011-01-07T12:54:00.425-05:00I did not say that.

Some people see this is an advantage of Apple's iOS devices, not a flaw.<br /><br />The problem with allowing charitable donation apps is that, in addition to bearing the transaction costs, it puts Apple in the position of qualifying each of the charities. Apple stands to lose both ways. You just know Apple would be sued for discrimination by charities that are excluded, and conversely by users if a charity app they accept turns out to be a scam.<br /><br />There are plenty of other ways for charities to solicit donations. Apple is right to stay out of it.Brettnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107301106676015736.post-17997264243768069132010-12-10T12:38:13.635-05:002010-12-10T12:38:13.635-05:00You also want to add that apple is behaving like a...You also want to add that apple is behaving like a communist entity, you can buy only from the governmental store.
