Well, I’ll be damned. They finally won one it sounds like.

      A monopoly is about market share and access to a market, “there is also …” doesn’t cut it in that discussion.

          Apple apparently doesn’t do backroom deals to stop other people from making app stores. That’s the difference between the two verdicts.

          Of course, that’s because Apple just doesn’t allow other app stores at all, but apparently that’s not against the rules.

            They do backroom deals to bring apps and games to iOS by offering reduced commissions on app purchases and subscriptions. They just haven’t been caught yet.

          Apple’s app store may be a problem, but saying “someone else is also doing something bad” doesn’t mean what Google is doing isn’t bad & illegal.
