Epic probably plans to win the case and force Apple to loosen restrictions on iOS.
Apple isn’t the store owner, they are the shelf manufacturer. We are the store owners, and Apple is telling us what we’re allowed to put on our shelves. You know, I don’t think this is a great metaphorical framework.
- ryandrake 6y agoApple definitely is the store owner. They built and run the AppStore app and backend infrastructure, set the rules for what goes on the shelves and what doesn't, take a (large) cut for providing distribution, arrange things on the shelves, point people to products. Whether you disagree with Apple or not in this case, these are functions of a store, and it's clearly Apple's store.
