Anything on an iphone is Apple. They dictate content, UI design, architecture and moderation policy for all the apps on the device.


No, Apple doesn't dictate credit card verification requirements. Actually they are quite opposed.


>No, Apple doesn't dictate credit card verification requirements.

that's the point parent was making; Apple made a decision about such things when allowing an app within their ecosystem that makes such choices (Skype, in this case).


Allowing something to happen isn’t dictating IMO.


It is when you're very strict about what you allow to happen. (which is the case with iOS apps.)


Apparently they have specifically allowed it in this case. Otherwise there would be no iOS Skype app.
