    I realize the DOJ is an independent entity from the political parties, but there are two tech political parties, Apple and the “others”. I think the “others” are in charge of this legal action and it’s driven by their jealousy of Apple’s ecosystem. These “others” need to get over themselves. As a long time Apple consumer, I am really tired of these frivolous lawsuits. Don’t like Apple, don’t buy Apple.

    DOJ is not independent. It is a department within the Executive branch, run by an Attorney General that is appointed by the prsident.
    DOJ is not independent 
    That's true only under Trump, despite the fact it's supposed to be (independent).

    I never voted or been political in my life but I will for sure vote clueless Biden out this November 

    ‪monopoly? There are more non-Apple phones; out there Biden and most are Chinese androids


    Biden is doing the bidding for Chinese communist owned Epic games with this lawsuit


    Joe Biden knows how to do two things.

    Siphon endless American money to Corrupt Ukraine and trying to take down great American companies.

    Think about this next time you vote for Democrats, you are voting for communists . Full stop

    stay out of our devices! 
    What a bunch of nonsense.

    I don't understand why you'd try to pretend it's even remotely the same.

    Epic does not control access to any platform.  Any developer can put up a website and sell a game directly to the public, giving Epic nothing at all.

    The same does not apply to Apple.  A developer putting up a website can sell a game to Windoze users, Mac users, Linux users, and Android users.  But they cannot sell to iPhone or iPad users without Apple's permission and losing 15% or 30% of their revenue to Apple.

    I'd be perfectly happy if the "app store" concept died completely.  But if a developer chose to put something in Apple's app store, or Epic's game store, that should be on them, not on Apple.

    I'd much prefer to download software to my iPhone directly from the developer's web site, not having Apple playing gatekeeper, morality police, and robber baron.  I'd prefer to be able to back up that game to my storage, so that if it's ever taken down I can still reinstall it on another iPhone, not having to rely on Apple to keep it online.
    You’re obviously not an Apple fan. Suggest you swap to Android. That way you can expose your private life to whoever you choose. 
    But he prefers trolling in this forum for some reason, like this is MacRumors. Probably just took a wrong turn somewhere.

    Why the weirdly defensive tone of this whole article?
    To provoke and upset the snowflakes of course.
