Zuckerberg criticized Apple's policy

According to Bloomberg, Mark Zuckerberg, founder of the social networking site Facebook, criticized Apple's app management policies at the annual New York Times DealBook Summit.

"If you look at the major computing platforms - Windows, Android, iOS - Apple stands out as the only company that controls what apps get on a device," Zuckerberg said.

He said such a policy would hurt not only users, but also software developers who collaborate with Apple. According to Zuckerberg, because of the strict controls, most of the profits in Apple's mobile ecosystem go to the IT giant and not to developers.

The Facebook founder also said that Apple's policies differ from those of other tech giants, including Microsoft and Google. In particular, they allow apps from other platforms to be downloaded to the device if they are not available in the app stores.
