It’s one clueless Judge who is making this decision. Once an intelligent tech savvy court hears the details of this case they will shake their heads in amazement that Judge Rogers ruled this way. 

I do not believe that the US has one of these.

So you disagree with her other rulings favoring Apple in the larger case too then? Thought not.

I was going to post a comment about this before all the Apple haters jumped in and started spouting nonsense about this being a big win for developers and consumers, but then I decided why bother.  It's obvious we're all screwed anyway.  This isn't even a big enough issue to be a bump in the road.

Patreon has already said it will decrease prices by 30%. I'd call that a big win. Apple has been hiding this from the judge exactly because it IS a big deal to their profits.

Great overview. Seems like while Apple won the battle, Epic won the war! Every developer can now just link out without the Apple tax (though having run a medium sized online retail operation once, there are fees, expenses and just overall peace of mind that may not make it worth it for smaller devs to move away from Apple). For Amazon etc this is a big win.

The os needs work but the biggest problem using an IPad to replace a laptop is that there is not enough RAM and it can’t even keep certain websites like tradingview charts open without forcing a refresh when you switch tabs. The trackpad also doesn’t work properly on the site (not sure who is at fault here). Easier to just get a MBAir instead as the form factor is about the same as iPad with keyboard. That all said, any upgrades on the os side would be a step forward.
