Apple has a 39% of the US smartphone market share and around 10% of the global market share. macOS has roughly 10% of the market share of PCs in the US and much lower around the world. Tell me again how anti-trust comes in to play.
You have been reported for lying! Bad habits color
Anti Trust only comes into play with oligarchies through price fixing and collusion. I'm not saying this applies here just that it is theoretically possible. Here Apple has differentiated themselves from Google's Play store rates (I believe?).
Only until proven a monopoly with too much power, which has yet to be determined. So, yeah, Apple still can do what they want until regulators say otherwise.
My company recently gave all hourly associates a massive raise. We had 2 that had the gall to complain. If we could’ve taken it back from them we absolutely would’ve. What a slap on the face.
Citing statute depends on state in this case but one could argue that apple controlling the competition of the market itself is anti-competitive. Yes, every market, physical or virtual, charges fees for use. As they should. But if a vendor in a market decides that the fees are too high they move to a different, competing market. It is a market of markets so to speak that keeps things in check.
Yeah, 15% up to 1million and then 30% on what you earn over the million.
Not taking a shot at you at all, but the argument "30% seems too high, 15% seems fair" is tossed around a lot and I don't get it. At all. Who decides what a company can charge for their services? I thought it was the marketplace. I think first class flights and BMWs and high end clothing cost too much. Can we get all these lowered too just because I don't want to pay that much for them?
