Nono, amazon will ether be entitled to a commission on 100% of profits made on every apple device sold through their store or not. Just as apple claim to be entitled to profits made independently of them.
Apple are not entitled to profits made independently of them. They are only entitled to charge for licensing IP and any other services they sell.
There is no functional difference between Amazon store and apple App Store.
Great, then apple have no claim for a commission for sales made outside with third party options or links as nobody is licensing their Ip.
Who created iOS? Apple. iOS is part of Apple's IP. You can't claim 3rd parties releasing software on iOS aren't using Apple's IP. Apple had a system in place that they considered to be appropriate for monetizing their IP. They can find a different system to monetize the IP too. They're not restricted to continuing to follow the previous approach.
Yes, I agree. Apple has the customers that are comfortable spending money on apps via the App Store, with one reason possibly being due to iPhones being vastly more expensive. Nevertheless, as developers need customers that are comfortable spending money, and Apple HAS those customers, Apple’s in the controlling position.
And, the Apple hardware is chock-filled with Apple’s IP. There’s no Apple developer, even the ones that are jailbreaking, that aren’t using Apple’s IP.
Ummmmm, you’re trying to reference a case that was decades ago? You’re joking, right? ????
That they are equal, but it’s only absurd for one to claim a right for a commission for all future sales profits irrespective if they contributed or not
iOS is apples IP, but the app itself isn’t using anything apple invented to function. The OS holds all the code the app request.
One charge for point of sale, the other charge for 100% of all sales you will ever make
The bill passed out of committee 16-6 just days ago, after those new developments were long known. The fact that courts so far have found that Apple's actions haven't violated existing U.S. anti-trust laws is precisely one reason legislators may feel the need to press forward. Also, what's the chance a Democratic president vetoes a bipartisan bill that gets through both the Democratically-controlled House and Senate? Slim to none. If the bill fails it will be before it gets to the president's desk. It will fail in either the Senate or House first.
Well it’s more the fact that you need to have more money to buy a 1.000$ phone. A 100$ android user likely doesn’t on the mere fact they purchased a device likely to have horrible software support
Airfares, when adjusted for inflation, have fallen 25 percent since 1991, and, according to Clifford Winston and Steven Morrison of the Brookings Institution, are 22 percent lower than they would have been had regulation continued (Morrison and Winston 2000). Since passenger deregulation in 1978, airline prices have fallen 44.9 percent in real terms according to the Air Transport Association. Robert Crandall and Jerry Ellig (1997) estimated that when figures are adjusted for changes in quality and amenities, passengers save $19.4 billion dollars per year from airline deregulation. These savings have been passed on to 80 percent of passengers accounting for 85 percent of passenger miles. The real benefits of airline deregulation are being felt today as never before, with LCCs increasingly gaining market share.Information provided by Airlines for America (A4A), formerly known as Air Transport Association of America (ATA), an American trade association and lobbying group based in Washington, D.C. that represents the few remaining North American airlines! I wouldn’t expect them to release anything that said otherwise!
A 12-month period of public launch preceded by years of development work on the device. You're saying Apple and Jobs were so stupid at the time that they didn't realize they'd need third-party developers and a 30% cut from them to make this new business venture profitable and worthwhile? I myself very much doubt that. You don't have to potentially be able to become the most valuable company in the world to make an idea worth pursuing. Billions of dollars is still billions of dollars. Apple's services revenue is only around 20% of their revenue. They would still be an exceedingly valuable company even if they never took in a single dime from App Store commissions. I have no doubt potential paradigm shifters realize that as well.
Why do you bother wasting time? They aren’t going to accept facts, we know this.
An extremely good example is Wine repository
Well it was widely expected Epic would crush Apple. It not over until it's over.
For clarity, I'm not saying the bill passing is guaranteed. I'm saying if it doesn't, it will not have been because of a presidential veto.
Because every time misinformation is corrected an angel gets its wings
All Apple App Store apps use Apple’s IP. It doesn’t matter whether the payment for an app is made via Apple, PayPal or anyone else, those apps still use Apples IP and Apple will continue to license that IP based on a % of sales.

Unfortunately…. Yes they Steve Jobs wasn’t that bright, and was extremely against developers releasing native apps instead of using safari. He had his moments of extremely bad ideas such as the App Store and SDK to be a thing
