Apple was clearly very slow to respond to the first ruling. Anti steering could have been reasonable rather than brutal. The judge was obviously peeved at being ignored by Apple's slow walk and new ruling went too far.

App Store hosting fee, increasing price for App Development software that is differential on sales numbers, giving advanced notice of iOS changes to an inner core of developers, implementing Core Technology Fee in US... Apple should be paid for the…

Not surprising. Apple clearly does not retain the best lawyers and Apple majorly annoyed the judge by slow walking her orders. Not sure that Apple will lose that much. I personally will not share payment credentials with each and every developer, s…

Apple will comply to the letter of the law on anti steering now but they will keep appealing. Sweeney will still not be allowed back on the App Store and the judge is unlikely to reverse her earlier ruling on that. Third party app stores in the US …

Does it matter what Trump says the tariff is going to be? Mexico and Canada had a fully executed trade agreement with the US, one that Trump himself negotiated, approved and signed, and 1 month into office, he tore it up. Trump changes his mind as m…

GM is not offering CarPlay in many models, not because people don't want it, or that CarPlay is not great, but because GM can not gouge their buyers with lucrative subscriptions. It is a gamble as some buyers will not consider cars without CarPlay o…

A lot of cheering going on with the China story today. As a reminder, Canada and Mexico had a solid trade deal with the US, one that Trump's previous administration negotiated over 2 years. And then Trump broke that deal in one day. Message? Trump c…

Suppliers pay retailers a premium for product placement. Having something at eye level at Walmart costs the supplier more. Google pays Apple to make Google the default search, but it does not pay to exclude all others. So why is the payment for b…

Google pays Apple to make Google the default search, but it does not pay to exclude all others. I don't see the case. It is very easy to change search engine by navigating to Settings > Safari > Search Engine and then selecting from the opt…

I am not sure why Apple can not have a unique agreement and contract with each developer, or at least the largest ones. Netflix does not pay the 30%, albeit it has a very large base of iPhone users and AFAIK rules for streamers are different. But co…

Rulings are one thing for the court, remedies are entirely different and they are usually bad in the case of tech. The Apple case is an example in that 'anti steering' is something that many of us would agree with. However this judge has placed a v…

Tim Cook, the head of the world's largest corporation, wilfully disregarded a court order. Irony after personally supporting Trump's inauguration party, that Cook has caused a 'constitutional crisis' of sorts in his company. The questions on the ear…

The revenue from EU is not far from a possible 10% of global earnings fine. Some make the error of attributing more revenue to Apple's "European region" than actually comes from European countries. It is how Apple reports, but from what I recall, ac…

If Apple absorbs the tariff cost rather than pass to buyers, then the tariff really becomes an Apple tax. That by itself is a problem if some tariff exclusion does not happen. Additionally Apple has in past absorbed costs with currency exchange, wh…
