It just remains hilarious to see Google under fire for negotiating secret deals to keep companies on the play store. Apple got this right the first time.

- paxys 3y agoThere is zero chance that Apple isn't doing the same. All their deals with Google are the prime example of anticompetitve behavior in the industry.
- amadeuspagel 3y agoMy point is that Apple doesn't need to do the same, because there's no alternative to the App Store. And that's what's funny. If you don't allow competition in the first place, you don't get bothered for "unfair competition" by antitrust regulators.

- amadeuspagel 3y agoInteresting. I guess in this case it's trying to prevent Netflix from switching to a web app. But apple is still in a much stronger position because a native app isn't an option.
