Apple and Consumers

• To be in it’s App Store, Apple only allows payment through it’s own payment method and doesn’t allow developers to contact consumers, to tell them about lower prices or offer competitive pricing. This has led people to call them a monopoly in a classic sense.
• The IPhone is vulnerable to hacks and the public has been misled about it’s security.
• The App Store is also vulnerable to scam and ripoff apps. The review process has been called “feeble” and since 2012 Apple has known that the App Store was a “playground for illicit transactions.”
• Privacy and security are staples of the Apple brand and consumers have been misled about their dedication to the issues.
