Instacar Bypasses Apple's Payment System, Sparking Controversy

The app Instacar, unavailable in the US App Store, displays a warning in the EU App Store for using an external payment system, bypassing Apple's private and secure payment system. The article argues that Apple's understanding of online payments is naive, clinging to the outdated notion that its system's security is a unique advantage. This ignores the fact that mainstream online payment platforms like Stripe and Amazon already offer secure and private transactions.
