Remember that hit piece article by Bloomberg a couple months ago that said Apple is forcing its employees to return to the office in June/July. Crock of garbage.

Apple CEO Tim Cook agrees to testify in House antitrust investigation
Apple doesn’t have a monopoly in any arena. Even if they did, monopolies aren’t inherently evil.It’s gatekeeper role via the App Store is reasonless. Who gets blamed if a rogue app loses data, invades your privacy, or shuts down your iOS device? Apple does. 30% is also reasonable as software dev isn’t free. Servers aren’t free. Bandwidth isn’t free. CC processing isn’t free. Security isn’t free. It also subsidizes the free apps. If it’s too low, say goodbye to free apps.Sherlocking is a joke. Thousands of Apple software engineers are working on improvements to ios / Mac OS all the time. You think you’re the only one that thought to create a “feature” to fill in a gap?

House antitrust chair calls Apple App Store fees 'highway robbery'
30% may be high but 30% of free is zero. Apple can drop to 10-15% but then there would be less to no free apps as Apple would change the minimum app price to make up for the shortfall. Servers aren’t free. Apple isn’t a charity.What are grocery stores charging for shelf placement AND what are they getting for buying in bulk?
