In general they donโ€™t deserve that much of a cut just for running the store.

They should give us money for forcing โ€œusโ€ (the poor souls being gaslighted into actually using Apple shit) to use the Apple store.

Honestly, always do this for subscriptions. Go to their website.

The company is losing money if you subscribe via the app. But being on the app store is critical for them.

It also is usually cheaper to do it that way. Iโ€™ve noticed quite a while ago the difference in subscription prices on website vs Apple Pay.

Apple Pay is something else. It is basically just your credit card.

I honestly donโ€™t know if Apple users can be saved. They seem to belong to a cult.

A cult that is surprisingly rabid about text message colors.

Iโ€™ve only ever heard that from Americans. Iโ€™m surprised itโ€™s not a thing here in the UK seen as we love copying the worst from the yanks, but on this no one cares.

That one is an easy explanation. Many Europeans switched to alternative messaging apps like Whatsapp instead of using SMS text years ago, well before iMessage or RCS came in to make the built in messaging capability better.

Hey! I use a lot of apple stuff and Iโ€™m planning to switch to Linux Mint, Ubuntu Touch and Pinetime.

Hmm, maybe I shouldnโ€™t judge so harshly. Iโ€™m assuming you didnโ€™t want or didnโ€™t know of Linux when switching to Malus? Malus is just a stepping stone to Linux? What got you into Malus in the first place?
