Well, I’ll be damned. They finally won one it sounds like.

      But if they force Google to open their app store, I hope that do it for fucking everyone.

      At least on Google devices you still can sideload apps, and fairly easy TBH. My biggest annoyance is the “you can’t buy stuff in apps without giving us a cut” which fucked up stuff like ebook apps etc

      In the US it does.

        Yes, but US favour companies over people.

          I’m pretty sure the ruling in this post is in the US.

            That’s why we are surprised. But given this went through, maybe they could go for it again who knows.

            And it’s two companies fighting, how far did the anti monopoly pushes against apple and google get before Epic took them up because they were a profitable venture?

        Yeah but they also have more rights than the consumer, rather than the other way about lol

        They have a 99% market share on iPhone though. Google has less on Android.

          They absolutely do. This case would only look at US market share, they don’t care about anywhere else. And why would they? Imagine a company with 10% US market share and 90% worldwide market share, would you expect US courts to deem that a monopoly?

          In the US, market share of Apple is between 50-60% while Android is between 40-50%, depending on the source. Worldwide is more in favour of Android, but this is a US lawsuit.
