- izacus 6y agoFortnite isn't a computer on which a majority of Americans accesses their news and other content.
- evgen 6y agoNeither is the iPhone.
- izacus 6y agoWith 60%+ market share in US and majority of market profit... it sure is. Remember how Apple was happy to say they "earned 120% (sic) profit of all mobile" just a year ago?
- evgen 6y agoNot sure where you are pulling this 60% number from, but last quarter iOS had 46% market share in the US. Additionally, you ignore non-smartphone systems as sources of news and content, where Apple has an even smaller market share.
- ivalm 6y ago47% is a mighty big number (although not a majority) Samsung, second place, is 23% [0] https://bgr.com/2020/08/12/iphone-11-sales-coronavirus-pandemic-samsung/ https://bgr.com/2020/08/12/iphone-11-sales-coronavirus-pande...
- dawnerd 6y agoThis isn't about not being able to sell something, it's about forcing them to use Apple's payment system. It's more like if you had a store in a mall and the mall said people could only pay using "Mall Pay" and would kick you out if you took direct payment. Some farmers markets actually do this though with tokens...
- Spivak 6y agoI mean the payment system is super superficial here. wish granted Apple let’s you use your own payment processing! But you still have to sign a contract with them to turn over 30% revenue of all sales made on their devices.
