US will not tolerate EU fine against Apple, says White House

US will not tolerate EU fine against Apple, says White House
This is about (rightly or wrongly) Apple abusing its market dominance, you really can’t compare Apple to epic or Nintendo.shrave10 said:Whitehouse is right here IMO. Unless Epic, Nintendo, and third party app stores for iOS all reduce their own commissions to developers to zero as well, Pres. Trump has full right to raise EU tariffs to the amount to recover any illegal fines to US companies.
It is not fair that all other platform vendors can charge a platform fee commission while Apple is not allowed to do same to recover costs of development, support, and marketing. Core platform licensing fees can be negotiated to be on similar or even slightly lower than that of other platform vendors but it can not be zero.
