Keep thinking about a phrase I read in a @doctorow thread recently: “felony contempt of business model.” Seems so apt to describe the fights between tech companies and between tech companies and their users — PolitiTweet.org

@jwleblan Here’s an explainer with a video from @russellbrandom https://t.co/WAQmW9N29R — PolitiTweet.org

@jwleblan Sure. The argument is that Apple purposefully makes it very very hard to switch away from the iPhone with iMessage and other lock-in mechanisms, so the control over the app ecosystem gives them anticompetitive advantages expressed in various ways — PolitiTweet.org

Also "why did you sue us and not Microsoft or Sony" is one of those arguments that's like... well, who's to say they won't sue them next? — PolitiTweet.org

Apple's insistence on comparing the iPhone to game consoles at trial is also really interesting -- do they *want* the iPhone to be considered a console-like device, or a general purpose computer? What about the iPad? This is seriously like a Vergecast with millions at stake heh — PolitiTweet.org

@daveywallie I think that’s why Epic keeps bringing up lock in and switching costs - the only way to keep Apple honest in that scenario is if you can realistically pick another overlord if they screw up — PolitiTweet.org

@bergmayer Honestly I think "be less controlling about biz models IN the App Store" would be enough, but they are not backing off that I don't think — PolitiTweet.org

@cedfunches If it was that simple it would have already been dismissed or settled, and Epic hired the most successful antitrust lawyers in the recent game. It’s gonna be weird — PolitiTweet.org

That “shit sandwich” call out was a big deal at the time - Steve Jobs did not want apps on the iPhone and I have always believed John calling it shit helped push the App Store along internally https://t.co/5CDojhJqsl — PolitiTweet.org

Apple is basically making the argument that web apps are a good competitor to native apps, which, well… they are not. Famously they are a “shit sandwich,” according to @gruber — PolitiTweet.org
