The New York Times has a history of taking bizarre stances when it comes to Apple, and nowhere was this more apparent than in a surprisingly misleading article that ran last week. In a story titled, “Apple Cracks Down on Apps That Fight iPhone Addiction,” Jack Nicas detailed how developers with screen-time tracking apps were finding themselves kicked out of the App Store.
As many quickly observed, the tone of the article was oddly conspiratorial and seemed to insinuate that Apple was kicking out apps designed to compete with Apple’s own software. Interestingly enough, the story included a quick blurb from Apple executive Phil Schiller but failed to include the full extent of Schiller’s remarks and Apple’s underlying motivation for kicking certain apps off the App Store.
