edit: this is so stupid. some dumbfuck is suing Apple because of the 30% cut that comes out of the developer’s end. “Oh but that causes a price increase to consumers!!!” umm what? are they arguing that apps would only cost $0.69 instead of $0.99 if Apple wasn’t taking 30%?  extra that the SC seems to be falling for it.

modern US antitrust enforcement is solely about price increases, real or imaginary. if anything, most iOS app developers would argue that there’s too much downward pressure on app prices and that Apple isn’t doing enough to make paid apps more prominent.

They're not ruling on whether apple is a monopoly. They're ruling on whether the plaintiffs have standing to sue at all. if the plaintiffs win they go back to the lowest court for the actual lawsuit. the scotus judges are skeptical of the precedent apple is using to claim they can't even be sued. did any of you actually read the article?

Doc Block posted:edit: this is so stupid. some dumbfuck is suing Apple because of the 30% cut that comes out of the developer’s end. “Oh but that causes a price increase to consumers!!!” um, you do know that many things purchased through the App Store and in app purchases have literally been marked up to account for Apple's take, right? Spotify (when they gave the option) was $9.99 through the website but $12.99 if you used an in-app-purchase. banning non-Apple-processed purchases to force a 30% price hike was also key to Job's proven anti-competitive price fixing scheme to break Amazon's e-book dominance. harm to consumers is laughably easy to prove here which is why Apple is trying to prevent the case from getting to the point where that is the deciding question. the articles are a bunch of clickbait bullshit though. Apple has a very easy out here - allow all app makers to use their own payment system in-app if they so desire (and google would have to follow). but then they would lose out on that sweet sweet gambling and hoarding addiction money.

it's important to remember that "harm to consumers" in the us is almost exclusively designed by "prices go up." this isn't about the 30% [which really should be like 5 or 10% at this point given how much money they're making] but not being able to sell apps from other sources this is dumb though because the rights of exclusivity for console manufacturers, the dvd consortium, etc. have been well established over and over

i hope apple wins the case, because i think the ability to only install apps via the apple store and approved by them works quite nicely for quality, security and otherwise. sure, there is a lot of crap apps, but it's nothing compared to android or what you'd have floating around in windows

IAPs are easy as stuff like Lyft already let you put in your own credit card. direct app purchases present more of a problem but there could be a list of payment processors for app-makers to chose from that meet neutrally applied security and privacy requirements. the real fun would be if Apple were required to pay back the difference between the 30% it collects and the single-digit-percentages charged by payment processors in the open market. that could be $50b or more. also making it so the IAP gambling and micro-transaction poo poo doesn't line Apple and Google's pockets is probably the only possible way we could get a meaningful change in practices.
