AppleZulu said: Which is why they'll likely end up coming up with fee structure changes to recapture what's lost. I'd look for something that makes life much easier if developers stick with the existing App Store payment structure. O…

designr said: It seems like a finding that Apple is not a monopoly and having that in a judge's ruling is a useful win for Apple here. For PR definitely a win. But it will have little impact anywhere else based on the super narrow m…

crowley said: The argument is that the market is not iOS devices, but iOS apps. And Apple very much do control that market. II understand the point you are trying to make but think this is also the wrong reading. The market definiti…

Kind of sad when governmental officials who have made it to positions as high as governor have so little (none?) knowledge of something as core to this country as the First Amendment.

Apple is going to win this case as Epic's case was not a good one and I think that is hinted at strongly by the questioning. I do think as a result of what was exposed in this trial that if not now there will be government intervention to address t…

No fan of the dating sites but they are right here. Take Apple's model and apply it to any other marketplace and it's obvious how ridiculous it is. Imagine if Best Buy copied the App Store terms. If you buy an iPad at Best Buy Apple couldn't ment…

I wonder if Apple will be forced to offer Apple TV+ subscriptions via IAP through the PS Store.

tundraboy said: You, on the other hand don't understand the bigger point. Apple doesn't have a monopoly in the smartphone market. All complaints about the App Store given that fact are moot. This is how competitive markets work: if you're not…

urahara said: How much should Apple charge instead of ‘draconian’ 30%? Let’s say you suggest 10%. (Not considering that you don’t have any basis for deriving that number). Now imagine your boss/client informs you that they are going to pay y…

As part of a duopoly and owner of 2/3 of the mobile app market Apple is using their market power to engage in rent seeking. It will be hard to feel sorry for Apple with what is coming in that context. I thought it was going to be more of a problem…
