Japan is also trying to take a stab at Apple with app store anti trust stuff, but I wonder how these things will play out. Will they just pay some fine and continue to go about their day or will some big change happen, even just for the Japanese market?
I seriously doubt the Japanese government having any power when it comes to opening up the app/play store, or enforcing something of that scale. Europe has been whining a lot, but I don't think there's anything radical being done yet.
- arlcode 3y agoIt's all but certain that the App store will be opened up to the degree the DMA demands, when it demands it. The act will only fully come into force next year and until then nothing needs to be done (besides measures like reporting users to determine who is even affected). I'm sure the Apple PR team is still debating whether they hide the changes in a font size 1 footnote or whether this will be a "bold decision taken by Apple". And the jury is yet out how much malicious compliance, that will result in a second round of legislative action and some court cases, they will use. But rest assured, something is going to happen.
