There’s no sort of quality control, it’s well nigh impossible to navigate, and frankly an embarrassment to a premium brand like Apple.Īnd over the last few days, it has become manifest that we can’t even trust the App Store’s products to respect our private data.
In most parts, it’s like a jumble sale, full of items of doubtful origin, but if you look hard enough there are some real gems. What greater contrast than with Apple’s App Store? They may not be the cheapest, but I can’t think of any lemon which I have bought there. After bookstores, which have been my obsession ever since I learned to read, they are the best: well designed, plenty of hardware to look at and play with, friendly but not pushy sales staff, and products which I can trust to work really well. Apple’s retail stores are among my favourite shops.
