Apple Sued for Pulling Co-Viewing App Rave From the App Store

[surferfb]

True. Unless your store is the only one in town and everybody has to shop at your place. And merchants are not allowed to open other stores on the Main Street. That's why Apple is in hot water. They own both the street and the only store.

No, they don’t. Just because you have decided that you won’t go to other street and shop at the other stores on that street doesn’t mean the other street and stores don’t exist.

Microsoft has changed windows 11, some functionality has been taken away, some new functionality that for the most part no one want(Pilot), is some one going to sue them you signed an agreement accepting that Microsoft can change the software as they see fit, same applies here to IOS and the app store, same for google and the android os and their respective store.

A US court recently ruled Apple can remove any app from their store for any reason, or no reason at all.

Apple Wins Decisive Victory in Musi App Store Removal Lawsuit

I wouldn’t be surprised if that ended up happening with Epic. Once everything is said and done, Apple just decides not to do business with them. Especially as they’ve already shown that they will not adhere to agreements with Apple.

It appears that there are people that wish that Apple had forced the EU government to make Nokia carry iTunes and other Apple services instead of create the iPhone we’re all using today. “The iPhone is the best device there is and nothing better will ever be invented.”

I don't think i misunderstood you at all, Any company can create a new mobile ecosystem, is it easier, No, but is not impossible, for the most part it is very hard to change people habits, so a new mobile ecosystem will have almost no new users in the beginnings.

whatever you or i think, in the eyes of the laws (As written) people have another choice which is android, now you and many others might not like that other choice, but as long as the choice is available there is not a Monopoly, the laws at least in America don't care about Duopoly since by definition they are more than one.

and as far as considering a mobile phone indispensable, it is not, if its your only computing device maybe you could make a case for this, but as it stands not indispensable they are other choices for getting online.

That absurd comparison between consoles is the same, have you heard of PC's to get online and do some work, mobile devices are a modern time nicety, i can guarantee you will survive without one,

I'm not allowed any mobile devices at work.

I'm still alive and successful.

There are people that can’t go a day without ChatGPT now. They don’t understand how others can. There are people that cannot go without a cellular phone now. They can’t understand how others CAN go without them. There are people that can’t live without an iPhone, specifically, and expect that every person on earth also cannot live without an iPhone. These are the kinds people to which “(some technology) is as essential as food and water” makes sense.

No, they don’t. Just because you have decided that you won’t go to other street and shop at the other stores on that street doesn’t mean the other street and stores don’t exist.

You can claim otherwise all you want but the lawsuits and changing legislation around the world tell a different story.

The App Store as the only store is unattainable.

I have a lot of Apple stock so I wish you were right.
