There’s no love lost between Apple and Facebook (or Meta as it is known now). For years, there has been a lot of tension between the two companies. Apple has bene openly critical of how Facebook manages user privacy and made certain changes that have really hurt the company. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has said that Apple’s policies cost Apple close to $10 billion in revenue in 2022. Now Zuckerberg has once again criticised Apple for its App Store policies.
Zuckerberg was speaking at The New York Times DealBook summit and said that what Apple is doing with App Store policies isn’t sustainable. “Apple has sort of singled themselves out as the only company that is trying to control unilaterally what apps get on a device. I don’t think that’s a sustainable or good place to be.”
That didn’t come as a surprise as Zuckerberg has often been critical of Apple and its approach towards apps and developers. Meta has accused Apple of making small and large developers’s life difficult.
Praise for Google from Zuckerberg
Apple may have been the target of Zuckerberg’s criticism but he had words of praise for Google. He said that Google has been more open with Android users as it allows users to look beyond the Play Store as well.“They’ve always made it so you can sideload and have other app stores and work directly with phone manufacturers,” Zuckerberg said.He also said that’s how Meta has approached its VR headsets and intends to the same with its AR headsets. “That’s also been our commitment in how we built up our VR and what we plan to do with our AR headsets,” he added.
It’s not the first time — and certainly won’t be the last — when Zuckerberg and Facebook would have criticised Apple over something or the other.
