  • Spotify says Apple One bundle is a 'threat to collective freedom' [u]

    ummm...sorry Spotify....

    apple offering a bundle does not prevent you from offering your services to iPhone users!   They are not blocking you!

    Whining about this is like HBO complaining if Spectrum offers a cable bundle without HBO included...

    How about this?  why not expand your services?   or partner with other services and offer a competitive bundle?

    But you have no grounds to whine about this!

  • Apple provides written witness testimony ahead of Epic trial

    With Epic not making the exact same argument and legal battle against Microsoft and Sony, how can anyone take their arguments at face value?  30% is the standard....do they plan on winning against Apple and then going after the others?  PlayStation and Xbox are as much a monopoly as Apple!

    Industry standard? No. It’s the standard apple set and that iphone cloners followed. This isnt based on cost. 

    so I assume you agree equally that Microsoft (Xbox) and Sony (PlayStation) also overcharge game manufacturers at the 30% to be on their platforms?  

    You cannot compare the cost of processing the CC payment to the cost of operating the App Store!  You are completely ignoring server farm costs, bandwidth, develop and maintenance of AppStore, staffing to review Apps for safety, marketing, etc.

    by your logic retail stores should only make 3% on the merchandise they sell and not 30-90%!

    and I am sure Epic can remember the days their software sold in retail stores, who took 40%, and they had the added cost of production and whole-sellers!

    But yes, Apple owes it to everyone to just given them a free store to sell in 🤦‍♂️!
