CUPERTINO – Microsoft strongly criticized Apple’s new App Store rules. The rules require developers to seek approval from Apple before using certain APIs to access user device data.

As reported by The Verge, Microsoft said that these rules would “inhibit innovation and competition”. The company argues that the rule will make it more difficult for developers to create innovative and useful applications.

Microsoft also said that the rules would unfairly benefit Apple. The company argues that the rules will make it harder for Apple to compete with other platforms, such as Android.

Here is the full statement from Microsoft:

“Apple’s new App Store rules are a step in the wrong direction. They will stifle innovation and competition, and unfairly benefit Apple.

The rules will make it more difficult for developers to create innovative and useful applications. For example, the rule will make it more difficult for developers to create apps that use device data to provide more customized experiences for users.

The rule would also unfairly benefit Apple. These rules will make it more difficult for Apple to compete with other platforms, such as Android.

We urge Apple to reconsider this rule. We believe that fairer, pro-competitive rules would be more beneficial to users, developers and the industry as a whole.”

Microsoft isn’t the only company to criticize Apple’s new App Store rules. Other companies, including Epic Games and Spotify, have also criticized the rules.

Apple has not responded to criticism from Microsoft and other companies.
