So they do this right after winning over Epic in court? Way to drum up support for anti-trust regulation there, Tim.

  Why should Apple be concerned about anti trust in USA when they just won a case they should very obviously have lost and it's clear American regulators have been asleep at the wheel for decades?

    > In sum, given the totality of the record, and its underdeveloped state, while the Court can conclude that Apple exercises market power in the mobile gaming market, the Court cannot conclude that Apple’s market power reaches the status of monopoly power in the mobile gaming market. That said, the evidence does suggest that Apple is near the precipice of substantial market power, or monopoly power, with its considerable market share. Apple is only saved by the fact that its share is not higher, that competitors from related submarkets are making inroads into the mobile gaming submarket, and, perhaps, because plaintiff did not focus on this topic.

      I didn't say anything about "monopoly". One of the most common fallacies when discussing this topic is that anti trust only applies to monopolies. This is dead wrong.

        What? I didn't say anti trust only applies to monopolies. According to the judge Apple is violating anti trust and walking right up to the line of being a monopoly. It's interesting. My quote is taken straight from the ~180 page ruling.
