The government has a different take on the situation.
What does the fact iPhones have carries have anything to do with the matter? Cars have dealerships. Does that matter?
Walmart stores have more than one competitor. Apple's platform does not.
Soon there will be no need to jailbreak, with an open Operating System, able to install(side-load) stuff from other sources.
This is inspiring me to sue Wal-Mart so I can open a lemonade stand on aisle 3.
A report submitted to one branch of one part of the US government is hardly “the government’s take.”
All that matters is legislation passed and signed into law, something Congress has essentially forgotten how to do.
What I like about Apples App Store on IOS. Very difficult for a phishing email to install software. The Mac, very easy for those type of apps to install. Last year alone the Mac had a 40% increase in malware. For you folks who say, see the Mac has no problems. While the IOS recorded few and of those few most were from side loading. If the changes are implemented, I would like to see something like Chrome has. The user would need to change a system setting every time to load apps from outside of Apples App Store. What I hope will happen, Apple will look at the really good developers apps and implement their own version. No more playing nice to the developers that do not use the App Store. Let’s start with a calculator for the iPad. I will pay a premium for any app Apple produces.
Both Apple and Walmart have solid significant competition. Microsoft before its spanking had driven the combined market for competitors into the mid single digits.
The FTC has an active investigation into Apple's Appstore practices. There are plenty of existing antitrust laws on the books for the FTC to apply.
I think you need to reread my post a little more closely. I said more than one competitor.
Have you seen their conclusion? Or will you simply assert that they will agree with yours? Investigation ≠ guilt. Even on the internet.
well installer was the first thing that allowed you to install apps on your iPhone. Cydia was the first store you could install apps on iOS, but still quite impressive that both are still activly used
Apple won't win, there are too many lawsuits, bills and acts around the world going on.
Side-loading will come, it's inexorable, kicking legs will just delay it a bit, but Apple Execs jaws will drop when it's over.

this would be a thing if only you could install android apps on ios or ios apps on android.
iOS and Android apps are just as different as diesel and petrol, nether engine can use it
You said "A report submitted to one branch of one part of the US government is hardly the government’s take." I replied there is an active investigation, so clearly the government disagrees with your take to just not buy an iPhone, otherwise they wouldn't have bothered investigating if that were a solution. Asked and answered.

He makes quite a bit of money and spends it on projects. I hear Cydia netted him about $11m annually out of which he spent the majority on other projects (I do not have a source for this other than a Reddit post).
It's not over yet, and even when it's over, it won't be the last judgement regarding this.
Cannot use Apple Pay in Walmart. We need a lawsuit!
I think you meant ”asked and blathered.” Also, if your, well, for the sake of argument we’ll call it logic, prevailed, there would be no point in ever doing an investigation of any kind. Here in the real world, conclusions aren’t preordained before the investigation even begins. In your world they apparently are.
And the winner are all the Lawyers, they will get a good % right after Apple's defense failure.?
Apple better command their Devs to start hitting the keys hard and don't waste time with emojis, the deadline for the implementation will be set strict and tight.

Who said the conclusion was preordained? You're inventing arguments and then using them to argue against yourself with them.
