They do backroom deals to bring apps and games to iOS by offering reduced commissions on app purchases and subscriptions. They just haven’t been caught yet.
I don’t like the notion that something having majority market share makes it a monopoly. The definition of monopoly, at least, as understood by me implies control of supply, not just having a higher demand.
Huh? They could just do a Fortnite.apk
No the point. Most users won’t install anything not on the app store.
Yea, but how is that a monopoly? There is even a fullon android AppStore from Amazon
A monopoly is about market share and access to a market, “there is also …” doesn’t cut it in that discussion.
The real issue here is that Apple is still allowed to do it.
Apple’s app store may be a problem, but saying “someone else is also doing something bad” doesn’t mean what Google is doing isn’t bad & illegal.
