https://twitter.com/eric_seufert/status/15345318253636526082/ While I do share some of @eric_seufert’s optimism — Apple improving SKAdNetwork is a good sign — I have a bit of developer PTSD at Apple’s glacial pace and relatively minor improvements.
https://twitter.com/revenuecat/status/14863615548535398422/ By the time Apple filed the 8K in November, they had a bit more insight into how both Q1 and Q2 were shaping up. Pushing the extra week to 2023 has several interesting implications. With Q1 2022 ending December 25th instead of January 1st, that last holiday week is now in Q2.

https://twitter.com/oliverjhaslam/status/13922155863111147612/ My impression is that Apple started down this road very specifically to clean up the privacy disaster they enabled with the IDFA (and knew they couldn’t fix with App Review policy), which came to a head in 2018: wsj.com/articles/your-…
https://twitter.com/stroughtonsmith/status/13921469580689489952/ “…if a significant number of people involved in iOS development start to fear App Review the way I have the past couple years, that changes the game. And I’m not just talking about indie developers like me. Contractors may steer their clients away from taking risks.”

https://twitter.com/tomwarren/status/13892822454547988522/ Thought experiment: if instead of adding IAP to the App Store in 2009, Apple had allowed devs to collect payments directly inside apps, would there have been less fraud or more? Would subscriptions be easier to cancel or harder? Would paywalls be less deceptive or more?
https://twitter.com/StratecheryMO/status/13572884331613921282/ I’m thrilled that Apple is essentially deprecating the IDFA and preventing all the creepy tracking that’s been going on. But I think they’ve thrown the (targeting and measurement) baby out with the (creepy tracking) bathwater.

https://twitter.com/eric_seufert/status/13567276181004861552/ When a consumer allows tracking, they are allowing anything that app might do with any of their data. And for personalized ads to even work in this paradigm, they have to allow tracking for multiple apps, not just Facebook/Instagram/Google Chrome/Whatever.

https://twitter.com/alexeheath/status/13295973237987368962/ Developers can use the IDFV to individually identify all users across their portfolio of apps & collect as much data as they want. Apple doesn’t prevent Facebook from doing that. Apple is preventing them from tracking users across any app (with their SDK installed) and the web
https://twitter.com/jeiting/status/13293992134914457622/ There’s been a lot of focus on the $1M threshold (including by me), but I’m warming up to it not being an issue. It’s like the tax arguments about how raising taxes on people making over $400k will disincentive people from making over $400k. That’s just not at all how it works
