Their business model isn't illegal, so there is no need to find any legal case. You're now implying all manufacturers are abusers of their own monopoly. Xbox

Xbox games only runs on Xbox, MS should be charged the same way as Apple here.
Sony for Playstation.
Nintendo for Wii.
Etc.
Apple created iOS, just as MS, Sony and other companies. They have the ultimate control over it.
iOS is NOT a public platform nor does it belong to be people. People have no entitlement to anything from Apple in this case. You don't like it, just don't buy it.
Android is an open system, thus where the anti-trust starts to kick in quicker for Google than other companies because Google is demanding something that they have no ownership of. Forcing Android OEMs to use Google services in order to use some parts of Android that supposed to be available to everyone?
- macintux 8y agoYou're violently agreeing with me.
- mikhailt 8y agoAh, my apologies, I’ve misread what you’ve said at the end there. It sounded like you’re saying there’s no legal justification. I didn’t mean for it to sound violently but maybe I shouldn’t reply on HN too early in the morning. I wish I could delete my post after a few hours.
- macintux 8y agoNo biggie. My phrasing could have been better: when I start to get sarcastic I rarely state my case clearly.
