How about fining the carriers $1 for every faked caller ID it lets through. I’d rather see no number available than a fake one. 

Why would that merit a fine?  There’s nothing illegal about that, and there never will be. When Apple customer support returns your call, that number is the inbound number, not the actual number of the person who is calling you.

This is a foolish verdict and sucks for Apple and consumers, but it's only possible because the judge doesn't really see non-iPhones as real choices. At least that's something positive Apple can take away from this.

I find it hard to believe that in the few minutes that elapsed since the article was posted you read the entire 185-page memorandum that explains the judge's rationale.

I'm not sure this ruling will hold up under appeal. If the App Store isn't really a monopoly, why would Apple be disallowed from anti-steering clauses that are standard practice for web retailers and online sellers? 

Are you an antitrust attorney with many years of experience handling these types of appeals?  Did you personally review all of the evidence admitted at trial?

If not, then you have no clue what you are talking about.

If a developer emails me about a different payment process I’ll tell them to GTH and trash their app. 

Developer: "You can save 30% by purchasing using any major credit card."
Rob53: "Go to hell, I'll pay full price!!!!!"

Seems completely logical.

Apple are too slow at implementation

Maybe you should take charge and fix all their issues.
