I thought Apple lost this war already?
A few times. But the old man don't seem to learn.
They lost it in the EU, but did it change for the rest of the world? Can't really read from the article what region they are talking about.
They'll hinge their position on the least good faith interpretation of EU's anticompetitive lawsuits, and why wouldn't they, they make more money in between these lawsuits than they pay EU for breaking the rules.
Yes and no. EU told them they need to let other app stores on their devices. Apple did their typical non-compliant song and dance, making devs jump through all kinds of absurd hoops and at the end of it all they still have to pay Apple 26% or something, so basically complete non-compliance. The EU has yet to do anything about it, as far as I can tell.
They also denied Epic's request, stating that their install button looks too much like Apple's.
