I’ve only looked at the docs and not implemented it, but my impression was that if they leave the Apple ecosystem they lose access to your app.

I suppose this is similar to any other “Sign in with” option, but it just seems more likely people will ditch Apple before they ditch gmail or Facebook, since they can keep those around pretty easily without using them or paying for them.

For Apple you need to pay money and actively use it to stay in the ecosystem.



I mean if you sign into something with Google and then delete your google account you end up with the same result no?


Yes, but deletion of a Google account (for a lot of people, the core of their whole internet experience) has way different probability than getting a new, non-apple phone.


Yeah, but like I said, it doesn't cost much to keep a Google account around that you aren't using.

It costs a lot to maintain yourself in the Apple ecosystem.
