Apple certainly has the legal autonomy to do all of this, I'm not disputing that. My point is that through these decisions, their behaviors obviously constitute market abuse. Something is gravely wrong if you can behave in the manner Apple has and become the world's largest company.
- scarface74 4y agoSo is everyone else who you have to license from to create a modern cell phone also engaging in “market abuse”? Do you realize how much money both ARM and Qualcomm make from each cellphone? Do you realize how much Google makes from the patents they bought from Motorola? If you aren’t in the Apple ecosystem, you pay Apple very little to create a cell phone, maybe a few tenths of a cent from H.264. Now compare that to the “essential patents” you have to license to create a 4G or 5G cellphone.
