  • Epic Games amplifies antitrust complaint against Apple in the UK

    Should be thrown out of UK courts, not a British matter, an American fight between two American companies that only had mild consiquences in the UK.
    Not our fight, not our problem, doesnt need our mediation, although Apple was right and Epic was wrong, but still that needs to be settled in the country of origin, its not like our courts can tell Apple what to do in America anyway due to jurastictions etc.
    Issues that affect consumers in the UK should be decided in a US court?

    Should Amazon be told to let manufacturers sell their products on Amazon free of charge?  If you want to sell your goods in someone’s store you have to give them the opportunity to make a profit. 
    That’s a straw man argument. The question ought to be why are Apple allowed to prevent other companies from selling items on their own platforms and the price they can charge. 

    Also, Apple don’t charge for all apps. Many are free. How would you translate that to your example?

  • Dutch antitrust regulators launch probe into Apple Pay


    So you're saying it's a bunch of bureaucrats sitting around getting paid making work for themselves and others (including Apple), wasting everyone's time and your taxpayer euros. 

    What a way to govern. 
    I assume then government officials in the US don’t receive a salary paid by the government?

    Plus you will be able to kiss security goodby if, for example, Apple is forced to provide details of the security features so third party parts makers can manufacture secure enclave clones. Apple could be forced to provide third party repair shops the special software and equipment needed to calibrate Touch ID components. Once in the hands of god-knows-who we will no longer be able to be assured our repaired iPhones are still secure and armored against hacking. This is Pandora’s Box being opened.
    You should read the article.  The proposal is only for a labelling scheme to indicate to consumers expected lifetime and how repairable a device is.  Considering the majority of people favour repairing a device rather than buying a new one this is a good thing in line with consumer wants.

    Are there equivalents to these apps on Windows? Are Apple expecting special treatment?
