I’m having trouble understanding who they mean by “customer” here. Do they mean “user” or are they envisioning, like, an office worker ending a conference call and then lashing out at a client? https://t.co/lfMUxRe0nC https://t.co/0bPGKYqcdn — PolitiTweet.org

Apple’s response to the temporary restraining order regarding Epic Games: “If Epic takes the steps the judge has recommended, we will gladly welcome Fortnite back onto iOS.” https://t.co/Ux5ZyiTnwt https://t.co/wChGKcW7gB — PolitiTweet.org

@bergmayer Especially when we now know Apple is willing to selectively bend the rules for a major developer like Amazon. — PolitiTweet.org

The judge has issued an order keeping Apple from blocking Unreal, but not letting Fortnite back onto the App Store. Key quote: "Epic Games and Apple are at liberty to litigate against each other, but their dispute should not create havoc to bystanders.” https://t.co/S8GwuV215o — PolitiTweet.org

@DarkGhostHunter Yes, there will be soon. They spent the last few minutes hashing out a tentative schedule for the fall. — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
All right, that’s all. My own impressions: The judge seems really irritated by Epic’s tactics but is very conscious of how Apple’s business model could be abused to reduce competition. She warned this case will be complex and “interesting” and won’t be resolved by TRO or PI. — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
Dang, this judge is *saucy* — Epic’s lawyer cites an upcoming holiday when discussing the briefing schedule, and the judge says something to the effect of, “you know our e-filing system is online 24/7, right?" — PolitiTweet.org

Apple argues that there’s tons of competition, it just happens in the “foremarket,” that is, when consumers are choosing their preferred platform. — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
“And so the question is, without competition, where does that 30 percent [number] come from? Why isn’t it 10? Fifteen? Twenty?” Then goes on to cite econ research showing walled gardens create high switching costs for consumers. And how Best Buy is a bad analogy. — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
The judge is expressing deep doubts about Apple’s walled garden ecosystem. "If you have an iphone you can't buy [apps] from anyone else. You can't. You are limited to buying it from Apple." "I can’t buy it from Google. I can’t buy it from Amazon. There is no competition." — PolitiTweet.org

That was the judge’s observation at the top of the portion of the hearing devoted to considering whether Epic is **likely to succeed in the case on the merits** (which is a factor considered in issuing a temporary restraining order). — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
This is big: Judge says there "there appears to be some measure of lack of competition… and high barriers to market entry” being raised in the case — that’s not good for Apple. But then goes on to say that what Epic is unhappy about — the 30% cut — is common in the industry. — PolitiTweet.org

Whoops, correction — Smith didn’t seem to name Apple or Google when discussing app stores. https://t.co/nGpCCmcvCE — PolitiTweet.org

Apple returns to its initial argument that this crisis was “manufactured by Epic to put pressure” on Apple. The judge says to Apple that “you must concede that the revocation of the engine will have a negative impact on third parties…?" — PolitiTweet.org

Epic says it's received reports from developers that they are “fleeing the Unreal engine now. It’s happening now, it’s not speculative." — PolitiTweet.org
