  • Apple making display repairs harder on iPhone 13 Pro is a step too far

    The lengths to which people will go to excuse anti-consumer behavior by Apple is stunning.

    Your choice happens when you buy the phone. If you choose to buy an iPhone, you choose the  App Store model that goes with it. 
    This legal rationale did not work for Microsoft when they tried to get EU regulators to back off of their decision to force MS to remove IE from Windows. 

    It should be rejected for the same reason here. Just because I buy a MS computer, doesn't mean I should be forced or coerced into using IE. Likewise, just because I bought an Apple iPhone doesn't mean I should be forced or coerced into using the App Store.

    It's not complicated in the least. I can CHOOSE where I shop. I can shop at Walmart and buy good from Walmart. I can shop at Target and buy goods at Target. I can even buy stuff from Amazon, if I don't mind waiting a few days. 

    Where can I go to buy apps for my iPhone if not the App Store? 
    Hey Genius  - the option is to go to Android.   Apple built and runs its own store.   Apple is the Walmart here.   Evidently, this is complicated for you to understand 
    Hey Genius - this is the same legal rationale MS used when EU regulators accused them of being a monopoly. Their legal rationale was soundly rejected and they were ordered to remove IE from Windows.

    Well this does help Apple defend itself against congress. They can't say Apple is a monopoly or go after them about the 30% now.
