問題詳情

    Content is supposed to be king. But in the world of electronic devices, Apple seems to beplacing the crown on its own head, 25 believing that its iPad and iPhone are moreimportant to customers than the books, movies, and music they store on them.     That’s the only explanation I can find for Apple’s brewing battle with Amazon and othercompanies that sell e-books for the iPad. Apple is 26 a rule that will make it all butimpossible for booksellers to offer their wares on its platform without losing money. It seems tobelieve that Amazon and others will 27. And even if they withdraw from its platformApple seems not to care. It’s betting that people love their iPads so much they’d accept a narrower choice of content rather than switch to a different device, like Amazon’s Kindle. And it could be right.      This all started because booksellers found a clever way to 28 Apple’s rules aboutselling stuff on its platform. If a developer wants to sell something via an iPad app—it’s called an “in-app purchase”一the transaction must go through Apple, which keeps 30 percent of the money and passes 70 percent on to the developer. Here’s what Amazon and the others do: when you ordera book using, you are 29 to a Web browser and the transaction takes place there, notinside the Kindle app itself. That way the 30 percent doesn’t go to Apple. Until recently, Apple putup with this. 30,it is no longer the case. The new deal says that if you want to sellbooks from outside your app, that’s fine—as long as you make it possible for customers to buy from within it, too.
