Jobs' Mob robbing meditation gurus

Nevermind Nervana, give us 30 per cent of your rice bowl

Fruity cargo cult Apple has been bullying the maker of a meditation app and demanding that a third of the donations given to its teachers be handed over to keep the company wealthy.

Insight Timer uses a digital donations feature that lets its teachers collect "tips" from their user profiles and during live events.

It was all above board; Apple agreed that teachers who use his app to reach their students shouldn't have to fork over a third of their income to Jobs' Mob.

After Jobs' Mob eased its rules on in-app donations in 2022,. Jobs' Mob checked the app and gave it the green light on the App Store.

However, now it seems that the big tech bully has changed its mind- it wants to grab a commission from this content, and Insight Timer has to play ball or shut its iOS business down.
