Simply not true. I once spoke to an old coworker (who's now a senior executive at a Fortune 500 company, not Apple). And he said in these large companies, there is so much discussion around risk, because the larger the company, the more of a juicy target they are for lawyers and lawsuits.
So the thought that Apple wouldn't have their ducks in a row isn't true. Especially since any feature they release, will be used by millions of people pretty quickly.
Just to be clear, I'm not claiming Apple doesn't give themselves special treatment in the App Store. They absolutely do (as you'd expect). Just pushing back on the notion that they wouldn't have documentation and all their legal stuff taken care of.
What do you mean? The article is about how they got FDA approval... Isn't that the way to go? As in, it's a much higher bar than having a medical license and insurance no?
