Is there any evidence this is actually true? Literally every year at this time, Bloomberg or the WSJ reports that Apple is due to cut production due to some negative factor or another. So far it has always turned out to be complete bullshit

You may well be right that they are going to lose. Everything else, you are wrong about to the point of absurdity. Alternative app stores is means the Facebook App Store*. Nobody can seriously pretend that Facebook competes on its merits

> As opposed to the state? Ok, so you consider the state to be equivalent to sovereign citizens? Also, how about investigations that never go to a prosecution? It’s pretty simple to harass someone that way.
