Another wrong headed anti-monopoly lawsuit. That 30% developer fee is not the main problem. It is actually quite reasonable especially now it is only 15% for small developers (which is the vast majority of us). The real issue is the lack of choice you as consumers have in iOS and the fact that you don't even know what you are missing since the majority of new app ideas are killed in the cradle because "Apple would never approve that." The problem has become so bad that it is actually wrecking the software development industry. The worst example is the Apple Watch which has such a limited, highly restrictive SDK that developers are limited to a very small number of use cases as dreamed up by Apple. What was the last game you played on your Apple watch? Why is that?

"This will be the first time Apple has ever allowed live links in an app for digital content. It's going to take months to figure out the engineering, economic, business, and other issues."
This statement is a bold face lie. It takes zero time to allow app developers to add links and buttons in their apps. Apple can figure out the economic, business and other issues whenever they want. It does not affect developers. The judge could consider perjury charges.

Number of crypto miners on the App Store: Zero
A lot of people have interested in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. It should not be up to Apple to decide if they can learn about crypto by doing some mining themselves on their iPhones. It won't make anyone rich (except possibly the developers who create the apps) but the best way to learn about something is by doing it.

Did Apple Music stream the video of the concert or just the audio? One fan climbed up onto a camera stand to yell to the camera man to stop the concert because people were dying. The camera man reacted with anger and threatened to have her thrown off the high stand. If that was an Apple employee or contractor, this is very much an Apple story.

Yea `cause that camera op could have just snapped his/her fingers and stopped the entire event.🙄

Camera operators are in communications with the producer. They wear two way headsets. The operator could have pressed a button and told the producer that people are getting crushed to death and the show should have been stopped.
