It’s pretty simple. Google was using the monopoly in ways that benefit some businesses. Rather than charging everyone the same commission rates, they were caught excusing some businesses from those rates.
Apple on the other hand enforces their commission equally on everyone.
It’s easier to argue that you’re operating a monopoly harmful to competition when you’re using your position to pick and choose winners.
That’s not true though. Large companies get commission breaks like Netflix at 15%.
Could you link a source? If there are any commission reductions; it’s spelled out in policy and applies equally to all app developers of that type.
Google had secret back room deals for some developers that weren’t following the policy other app developers were subjected to. If you can find an example of Apple having secret back room deals that cut some developers a break and not others, I’d be interested to see it.
It’s been in news articles here and there.
Can’t seem to find one
Me neither. Anyone who uses Android knows there are multiple different app store fronts and side loading etc. apple just has the app store. These judges are taking crazy pills or something
Considering users can install any apps they want on most android devices, Google’s argument that it will compromise safety and tarnish google’s image seems absurd.
