Yes, if you classify Macs as PCs.
Why would Apple drop support for a popular browser like Chrome?
For the same reason they don't allow Flash on AppleTV or other iOS. To keep
better control of their Devoted Following. Cross-platform solutions are
terribly threatening.
Contrary to what Bert believes, Apple is very supportive of third
party apps that can run on both Mac OS and iOS.
Pretty funny how Craig interprets facts. It's only when Apple sees a really
obvious benefit, such as allowing MS Office on Macs, that they begrudgingly
allow third party apps. Or like the example of maps, after theirs didn't work
out. Do you really think that Google wanted to NOT allow its maps to run on
iOS, Craig?
Next thing you know, Craig will claim that it was Adobe that wanted to drop
support for Flash on iOS. Sony also had that general mindset of keeping a
closed shop. If being led around by the nose is okay with you, then this is a
good way to promote bulletproof operation. All depends how much being led
around by the nose irks you, Craig.
