  • Judge questions Apple's commitment to App Store payment alternatives

    Why does Apple has to have an alternative App Store payment process? When I go to any store, I pay the store. I don't pay the manufacturer of an individual product. I just don't understand why people can't see this. It's Apple's product so you pay Apple. 
    Let’s say I buy a camera in a store that requires me to pay monthly to access online features. In the real world we of course pay the camera developer directly through their website. On the AppStore, the same process necessarily goes through Apple’s billing system. Forcing Apple to let people pay outside of this system actually brings it closer to what has always happened in grocery stores. Can you see this?
