I wonder if all the hit list companies will be from the US ?

I like the Apple setup and the walled garden, and if developers want their 30% just increase the price by 30%. Selling for $13 instead of $10.

That being said, if Microsoft was considered a monopoly for shipping explorer built in with Windows then the App Store is a much worse case.

LOL. No. ARM was developed by a British company: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arm_Holdings

Apple first licensed the technology for the Newton, and later took a 43% stake in the company: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_transition_to_Apple_Silicon#Early_involvement_with_ARM

Isn't research easy?

Yes, research is easy if you know what you’re doing. Here, you’re embarrassing yourself a bit mate, unfortunately. ARM holdings was a successor business entity to ARM, but still with Apple as a founder.


The company was founded in November 1990 as Advanced RISC Machines Ltd and structured as a joint venture between Acorn Computers, Apple Computer (now Apple Inc.) and VLSI Technology.[17][18][19] The new company intended to further the development of the Acorn RISC Machine processor, which was originally used in the Acorn Archimedes and had been selected by Apple for its Newton project. Its first profitable year was 1993.
