The other content consumption category with great spacial potential is live sports. 

Would a football game be great if the players were on the other end of the field? Or do you switch seats? Not sure the experience would be better than the closeups and multiple camera angles one gets now. Personally, I think front row concerts and plays have as much potential (or more).

Apple will successfully litigate this, and Epic will continue its fall into obsolescence. 

Despite the EU law, it’s not clear that it means any “Tom, Dick, and Harry” can create an App Store and demand Apple accommodate them. 

If I have a company that prints t-shirts, do I get to demand that Wal-Mart not only sell my products, but that they also allow me to open a storefront in their respective locations to sell direct to the consumer?

Was about to post a variation of this, but agree. I want to sell my stuff in Wall-Mart, but I don't want to give Wal-Mart their cut for providing the store, lights, power and traffic, so I want to open my own kiosk inside their building, process my own payments, and keep all of the profit.

Why does Apple assume they have monopoly on security? It is a rather faulty assumption that none else can make a secure or even more secure App Store. 

DMA will overrule this and allow fair competition on the platform. 

Expanding the attack surface is expanding the attack surface and spreading PII and card information to multiple sources.

If Microsoft can buy Blizzard/Activision then Apple should just buy Epic.

Actually was disappointed in the use of Tetraprism since it doesn't allow for any intermediate focal lengths. Periscope zooms, OTOH, allow for a lot more flexibility.
