iOS 13 comes with a very important change for users all over the world, and the Apple company is intensely criticized because of it. More precisely, those from Apple have implemented in iOS 13 new restrictions for accessing users' location by developer applications, and the latter are upset.
Application developers complained to Tim Cook about the situation in iOS 13, and said that the measure is anti-competitive. Apple no longer allows developers to track our locations anyway they want starting with iOS 13, and this upsets them and makes them ask for substantial changes to be able to track us anywhere again.
Developers are also complaining about the fact that iOS 13 affects their businesses, they are upset because they make money from monitorising people, even when they don't know, and now they won't be able to do that anymore. Of course, Apple will not demand it, I hope, and I hope that iOS 13 will continue to have much stricter control over the way the location is accessed.
"In an email to Apple CEO Tim Cook last Friday, the leaders of seven app developers raised their concerns about the company's new restrictions on location-tracking apps in an upcoming version of the system iOS operating system, according to a copy of the email reviewed by The Information. They accuse Apple of having a "double standard" for how apps can use location data in its new operating system.
Apple's increasing efforts to create new Internet services creates a duty to treat outside developers fairly, they wrote. "As Apple expands into additional services, some of which compete with developers like us, the need for a level playing field becomes increasingly critical to allow the ecosystem to flourish," they wrote in the email.
