  • Apple may be forced to allow third-party App Stores in India

    KTRKTR
    I believe most developers will opt out of having their own store.

     they will have to pay for their own security and privacy protection.  To much over head.
    they will have to process their own refunds.

  • After years of work, Microsoft is still trying to make its own Apple Silicon-like chip

    My feeling is.  Even if ms finds a way to get a really good working soc. How is this gonna affect their partners?  How are they gonna make all those old x86 programs work.

  • Apple praises EC antitrust refocus, but ignores the bad parts

    Coincidentally (or maybe not a coincidence at all), this is turning out almost exactly like the US Epic vs Apple anti-trust case. In the US, the CA Federal judge also dismissed Epic claim that Apple commission was anti-competitive due to an abuse of a "monopoly", because Epic did not prove Apple have a "monopoly". However, the judge did questioned the commission high 30%, but said that there was still nothing illegal about it.

    But the US Federal judge did find Apple violated CA Unfair Competition Law. The UCL is a catch-all law that allows the courts to charge a business with violating a law that might not be a violation of any anti-trust laws. The courts only need to determine that the allege anti-competitive behavior in the case, is "unfair" to other businesses or consumers. This involved Apple not allowing developers a link or advertise in their app, their own payment system  and thus falls under the anti-steering provision in CA UCL. This is what Apple is appealing now.
    I hope apple wins 🤞

  • New EU rules would force Apple to open up iMessage

    KTRKTR
    I hope this back fires on the EU.  Also, the they have to make sure they don’t violate apple IP.  Cause this will give apple grounds for law suits.  I HOPE this works in apple favor.  I can case apple building devices where the law does not apply .

    So many companies have shameless copied the iPhone, now Apple is accused to setup a system for only themselves ???
    Irony, they name is Governments.
    When it comes to abuse of a dominant market position, using said market position to get leverage in new markets is a big no-no.

    I hope Apple loses this one, so other payment providers also can use the NFC capability. I really don't like Apple getting  the ability to keep a cut on everything we spend
    I have Citibank and td bank in my Apple Pay.  So apple is not blocking others from using its technology.  It’s up to other institutions to offer it or not.  Yes, apple should het a cut. If we didn’t have the App Store, then what.  It’s a safer way to not carry credit cards.
