Great! Now do Apple

Why? Just don’t buy apple.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That isn’t really relevant when it comes to holding them to a different legal standard.
Darkncoldbard@lemmy.world 1 year ago
And if you don’t own apple products, why would your care?
jack@monero.town 1 year ago
Exactly. The locked down nature is part of the Apple experience, their customers want this

The law should still apply equally to every company, shouldn’t it?
TheBat@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Apple doesn’t licence out their operating system.
MrSilkworm@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s not an apples to apples comparable situation. Pun intended!
ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
It was ruled previously that Apple don’t have a large enough market share
phx@lemmy.world 1 year ago
But if they force Google to open their app store, I hope that do it for fucking everyone.
At least on Google devices you still can sideload apps, and fairly easy TBH. My biggest annoyance is the “you can’t buy stuff in apps without giving us a cut” which fucked up stuff like ebook apps etc

Yeah, the Kindle app pretty blatantly tells you why they removed in-app purchases.

In the US it does.
themurphy@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yes, but US favour companies over people.
aidan@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’m pretty sure the ruling in this post is in the US.
Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah but they also have more rights than the consumer, rather than the other way about lol

Which is weird because they have a larger market share than Google >.>
Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
They have a 99% market share on iPhone though. Google has less on Android.
jaybone@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Who has the other 1% on iPhone?
notapantsday@feddit.de 1 year ago
…in the US
abbotsbury@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Like this case?
KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
Which is all the US courts would be looking at.
TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 1 year ago
No they don’t.
KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
They absolutely do. This case would only look at US market share, they don’t care about anywhere else. And why would they? Imagine a company with 10% US market share and 90% worldwide market share, would you expect US courts to deem that a monopoly?
Maestro@kbin.social 1 year ago
In the US, market share of Apple is between 50-60% while Android is between 40-50%, depending on the source. Worldwide is more in favour of Android, but this is a US lawsuit.
