- nobodyshere 9y agoThat’s fake news. There’s nothing to discuss here.
- verytrivial 9y agoIf you mean false, please say false.
- finchisko 9y agoNot completely false. https://techcrunch.com/2017/12/08/apples-widened-ban-on-templated-apps-is-wiping-small-businesses-from-the-app-store/ https://techcrunch.com/2017/12/08/apples-widened-ban-on-temp...
- danielbarla 9y agoDepending on which stats you look at, iOS has around 12-16% of the global market share for smartphones, which is likely too small to invoke antitrust laws (which are there to discourage anti-competitive behaviour from players who are "too big to avoid").
- pjmlp 9y agoNone, regardless of what geek think they know about monopolies, what Apple has isn't one according to the law, so they are free to do whatever they feel like on their own platform.
