This analogy makes no sense. It’s not a business to consumer issue. The problem is Apple running their own marketplace and inconsistently applying the rules they have created for that marketplace.
If the hotel opened a food court and treated the vendors like this, it might be an apt analogy.
- hyko 6y agoWell, let’s use the food court analogy then: whoever owns the food court is permitted by law to set whatever rental prices they choose for their tenants (provided they aren’t discriminating against people based on certain characteristics). They don’t have to be consistent, because the food court is their property and they have very wide discretion over how it is used. Fair? No. Legal? Yes!
- take_a_breath 6y agoI think it’s legality is up for discussion (that’s the discussion people are currently having). Because your analogy still falls short because the hotel now opened their own stall in the food court and is competing in the marketplace. What are they doing with the proprietary data from other marketplace competitors?
- belltaco 6y agoThe consumer owns the phone, not Apple, so that's a bad analogy.
