I still don't see the problem. Apple is a minority player in this market. Android presumably allows whatever you want, right? If you want the customized experience, use that.
- timmg 4y ago> Apple is a minority player in this market. In the phone market? Maybe by units. Certainly not by revenue. Either way, they have a monopoly on "iPhone apps" and their distribution. You can argue whether that's a market in itself. But lawyers and regulators can make an argument too.
- ubermonkey 4y agoRevenue does not determine market control. Market share does. They are DEFINITELY a minority player vs. Android in terms of handsets in use. It’s not close. Closed platforms have always been a thing. Mostly, they’ve been game consoles. It is hard to understand how Apple should be forced to do anything on antitrust or monopoly grounds, though, based how we have traditionally understood anticompetitive practices.
