sacrificing the users at the alter of "anti-trust".
I think you don't understand what anti-trust is about.
Well, looks like he does, because "anti-trust" is not about the users. Never was.
This design tool, when asked for a weather app, always turned up with the same design. So if several developers use it to "design" their apps, all apps will look the same. The fact that you can't fathom this just shows you are of general stupidity, not just dumb while fixated on Apple.
My -guess- is the ebook market is highly fragmented so 10% was a lot but as I said, not familiar.
It's not. It's barely lost in the noise compared with Amazon. That particular case was about collusion to raise prices. The thing is, Apple's contracts with ~500,000 developers who have apps on their iOS App Store, if found to be behaving in a way that effectively raises prices, would make the size of the eBook price fixing cabal seem tiny by comparison. As soon as multiple companies and contracts get involved — which is absolutely the case when you're talking about a closed ecosystem like iOS — you don't actually have to have monopoly power to be convicted of Sherman Act violations at all. (And yet Apple does.)
Funny you should mention that case. Amazon used their profits from real books to finance selling ebooks below the price they paid to the publishers, so they could monopolize the market. All to boost sales of their Kindle ebook reader they also sold below cost to ultimately get everyone to buy their Kindle ebooks that only worked on their reader to monopolize the market. And they took 70% of the sale of those Kindle ebooks unless you basically sold your soul to them, than they only took 35% instead of the ridiculous rip-off from Apple at 30%. You're a tool.
I can find dozens of similar reports.
