If you make your living on the web, it's crucial to understand that Apple is *not on your side*. Every dollar you spend on iOS hardware is a vote against your future.

A necessary addendum: don't take this out on the WebKit team. All of these decisions were made far above their pay-grade. They want a web that can work just as much as you do. Yes, they're Apple employees, but just as oppressed by this as the rest of us.

I really wish people would stop using the phrase "the new IE6". There is literally nothing in web development today that compares to developing for IE6.

Actually I tend to agree it is the new ie6. Been around since pre-ie6.
IE6 froze API in that era; so all these cool new API were unusable because of IE6. Safari is doing the same thing now. Lots of new shipping api's are unusable because of having to support iOS... - 11 more replies

If you're a web developer then do that, develop web sites. Don't do apps.

What is wrong with you? The experience of the web on iOS is first class.

I don't understand how Apple get away with it, when Microsoft got into so much trouble for bundling IE with Windows?

Microsoft was attempting to take a monopoly they had (desktop) and use it to gain a second monopoly, in browsers. That’s illegal.
