Why we are suing Apple for better HTML5 support in iOS

Perhaps they should do more about HTML 5 features ( which is holding back the mobile web) instead of js execution.

This just means they can do it, but they won't due to own personal gains

Or at least allow other browsers to compete on the platform.

This!!!! I cannot believe that Apple is allowed (even by EU) to only allow their own browser on App Store. Having a choice is always good.

If it was Microsoft, the story would have been completely different today.

Microsoft's problem was that they had a monopoly of the market and were distorting it. Apple has nowhere near close to a monopoly on the smartphone market, and there still is plenty of innovation in the 'mobile web' happening.

Microsoft had 90% percent marketshare in the '90s. Apple is not in that position.

Yes, because, for the 10000th time: Microsoft was a monopoly in the desktop market.

Apple has never been a monopoly on the phone market.
