>But aren't they a dominant power already. Android can have 80% market share but the revenue reality is 2:1 in the favour of iOS.
A regulator/prosecutor will certainly try to argue they're dominant! But market power is measured by market share, not share of revenue. That'd basically find anyone that sells high-end products in any category as a monopolist.
>Isn't it anti competitive for a new service like a movie streaming app to be at a competitive disadvantage financially than if Apple decides to launch their own.
Apple is not barred from competing with anyone in the App Store, just as Walmart isn't banned from competing with any of the vendors they stock in their stores.
- actuator 6y agoI think I should reword my comment. How is App store revenue example of app being "high end". It just shows it is more profitable for a developer to be on iOS as they probably get 2/3 of their revenue from it.
- brmgb 6y ago> But market power is measured by market share, not share of revenue. Actually market share is routinely defined as share of revenue. It often makes more sense than number of units. > That'd basically find anyone that sells high-end products in any category as a monopolist. High-end products have high margins but low volume. High end producers are rarely dominating their market by share of revenue.
- scarface74 6y agoCare to name a case in the last 40 years where “a monopoly” was defined by revenue?
- brmgb 6y agoAs dominant position is clearly defined using market share with market share being understood as both unit market shares and revenue market share, I will go with all of them.
