I can't speak for every country, but in the EU I think it's likely the case will be thrown out due to the inability to prove that Apple has "substantial market power" with 25% market share.
The Commission considers that low market shares are generally a good proxy for the absence of substantial market power. The Commission's experience suggests that dominance is not likely if the undertaking's market share is below 40 % in the relevant market.

- nodamage 6y agoThe two are inextricably linked. Which apps are available on a phone are part of the decision of which phone you might prefer to buy.
