EU antitrust chief & Apple foe Margrethe Vestager out after 10 years
Forcing Apple to allow 3rd party stores was always one of the dumbest ideas that the EU had. Mobile apps were already far cheaper on average than any other computing platform and the price difference between Android (open!) and iOS (closed!) were virtually non-existent. Those facts alone seriously undermine the idea that the App Store model was abusive. The reality is that app developers wanted to release apps on iOS because the iPhone proved to be very popular with consumers and had a large user base. Contrast this with another piece of Apple hardware that is also closed and also has a single App Store: Apple Vision Pro. Apple obviously doesn't have the power to force app developers to support the platform. Developers are looking at the relatively small install base for the first year product and choosing to "wait and see" before committing $ and development time.
