Do regulators think that running an App Store should be done for free? 

Are they really that stupid? 

I think we can all answer that question with certainty. 

On all Statements from Apple, there are the standard warnings about Forward Looking Statements, and that Apple is under no obligation to make corrections. 

That would seem to me foreclose any lawsuits period. 

Funny, I've never relied on the statements of any corporation about their future endeavors when making purchasing or selling shares. I didn't think anyone would be dumb enough to.

Tesla is too much of everything for doodling around town. And their manufacturing carbon footprint doesn’t break even until 90,000 miles.

This happens so often. Apple's products are leaked through its code. I wonder why Apple hasn't already learnt its lesson and have strict checks on their code before making it public? Especially given their otherwise super secretive philosophy. 

If it wasn’t for leaks, what would people wrote about.

Actually, there are as many rumors about Apple as conspiracy theories about Covid. Facts never stopped anyone. 

I don't see a problem with an IPO. What will ARM be worth on the market? How will that affect companies using ARM? Apple can buy a piece. We can all buy pieces. 

Of course, there is competition. The Open RISC-V. There's a lot more infrastructure that must be built around RISC-V to become a competitor to ARM, but pushing out ARM into the wild by itself might make RISC-V more viable. 

On the other hand, RISC-V has the real danger of producing an infinite variety of one-off clones all incompatible with each other. ARM, at least, controls the roadmap of its development. 

I'm not sure Apple adheres to that roadmap for ARM, given its version of the processor outcompetes other versions of ARM. The Broadcom and TI versions of ARM are not something to write home about.
