I assume you mean approved by Microsoft.
When they were found in the US to have a monopoly, they had around 95% of personal computer operating system share. Apple isn’t even close.
- mvdtnz 2mo agoReally? What would you estimate is Apple's market share of iPhone apps if it's so far below 95%?
- syradar 2mo agoWe both know that the market share refers to the smartphone market share of which Apple has about 21%. For iPhone apps Apple is way behind with about 0.005% of the total 2.17 million iPhone apps.
- alkonaut 2mo agoThe ONLY interesting market share here isn't how many apps Apple create, or how large share of the smartphones they have. It's how much of the distribution of apps they control on iOS (which easily reaches the bar of being a market in itself). I.e. the monopoly question is: if apple takes X% for each app in this market, and a competitor can't take less, then it's a monopoly.
- NetMageSCW 2mo agoThe only interesting market is comments labels as from alkonaut and if no one else can make such a comment, that is monopoly that should be regulated.
- alkonaut 2mo agoYes indeed if this wad important enough in people’s lives or the economy as a whole I should be regulated, divided or possibly even nationalized.
