Summary 1) iOS devices are a large market (Over 1.5 BILLION devices) 2) iOS users spend more then Android users 3) Apps must be independently developed for each platform 4) Apple’s Monopoly Power in the iOS App Distribution Market. (p20) As it is the sole means by which apps are distributed to consumers in the iOS Market. 5) Non-iOS app distribution platforms do not constrain Apple’s monopoly power in the iOS App Distribution Market because they are not compatible with iOS devices, they cannot provide iOS users with apps for their devices, and they do not contain iOS compatible apps. 6) Apple imposes unreasonable restraints and unlawfully maintains a monopoly in the iOS App Distribution Market through several anti-competitive acts, including technical restrictions - Cannot download alternative app stores - App store is preinstalled - Contractual restrictions on distributing iOS apps outside the app store - Section 3.3.2(b) of the Developer Agreement prohibits “Application[s]” that “create a store or storefront for other code or applications”. (p25 C75) 7) Apple’s anti-competitive conduct harms all would-be app distributors by foreclosing them from competing in the iOS App Distribution Market. (p26 D88) 8) Apple has a monopoly over the iOS In-App Payment Processing Market and, in the alternative, over the iOS Games Payment Processing Market, as it has a 100% market share. 9) The cost of alternative electronic payment processing tools, which Apple does not permit to be used for the purchase of in-app digital content, can be one tenth of the cost of In-App Purchase.
