Micropayments could easily become a standard, expected part of iPhone use.

Given how everything else you've said hinges on this assumption, you'd have done well to explain why you think it is true. Like I said before, you're conflating two markets.

As it depends on all players in a highly competitive market suddenly colluding to degrade the user experience upon which they all depend without anyone realizing that they might stand to make more money by not doing so, I find it hard to believe.



> degrade the user experience upon which they all depend... I find it hard to believe.

That doesn't relate at all to anything I've said, nor does it reinforce your point in the slightest. Your powers of misinterpretation are astounding and I hope that in the future you will refrain from commenting anywhere on anything.


The linked article shows an instance of Apple unambiguously, deliberately degrading user experience. It is highly relevant to this discussion.


That's not a discussion that any of my posts in this thread have been about.
