Even so, Apple has gotten far more whacks for violating EU law than anyone else in this space. Not only that, winning a case against a company in EU over antitrust often bolsters your defense in the US due to courts preferring to hear about established case law by other courts with similar laws.

>Even so, Apple has gotten far more whacks for violating EU law than anyone else in this space. What are you referring to here? Antitrust? If so, please provide some pointers. There're a lot of cases, not aware of many wins.

  Note that I am not asserting that Apple has more than anyone else, that would require more research than this. What I have found in recent history is one major case from France: Apple fined 1.23 Billion for Price-Fixing in France https://venturebeat.com/2020/03/16/apple-fined-record-1-23-billion-in-france-for-price-fixing-scheme/ https://venturebeat.com/2020/03/16/apple-fined-record-1-23-b... Apple also has 4 open Antitrust investigations (all opened on the same date and likely interrelated) going on in the EU (irrespective of actions that members may be taking): https://ec.europa.eu/competition/elojade/isef/case_details.cfm?proc_code=1_40437 https://ec.europa.eu/competition/elojade/isef/case_details.c... https://ec.europa.eu/competition/elojade/isef/case_details.cfm?proc_code=1_40452 https://ec.europa.eu/competition/elojade/isef/case_details.c... https://ec.europa.eu/competition/elojade/isef/case_details.cfm?proc_code=1_40652 https://ec.europa.eu/competition/elojade/isef/case_details.c... https://ec.europa.eu/competition/elojade/isef/case_details.cfm?proc_code=1_40716 https://ec.europa.eu/competition/elojade/isef/case_details.c...

    So, to be clear, there's no successful antitrust prosecution of Apple under EU law, nor one that relates to iOS or the App Store. On the other hand, there is a €4.34bn fine for Google for market abuses relating to bundling of Google services in Android, as well as a €2.4bn fine for favoring Google Shopping in its search product, and a €1.4bn fine for abusive practices in Google AdSense.
