2/ And Apple isn’t a monopoly. It has a small share of the global smartphone market - about 15% - and less than half of the U.S. market. (I don’t believe the installed base of iPhones can be considered a “market”, since Android has the same apps and consumers can switch.) — PolitiTweet.org

1/ I think the judge’s ruling in the Epic vs Apple trial makes eminent sense. Like every retailer, @Apple has a right to a fee for distributing products. And the 30% was cheap when it was introduced. Apple has since cut it in various ways. — PolitiTweet.org

3/ But @Apple’s refusal to let its users know of alternate ways to make in-app purchases was absurd IMO. And not just bad for developers, but a bad user experience. I suspect most people will still use Apple’s default payment system. But users deserve to know of other choices. — PolitiTweet.org
