Apple has a monopoly on its business model, and on the willingness to eliminate legacy hardware mechanisms. Good luck finding a legal case for an abuse of either of those.
Always interesting to see the arguments people come up with on the internet to justify their position on some other issue.
You're now implying all manufacturers are abusers of their own monopoly.
Xbox games only runs on Xbox, MS should be charged the same way as Apple here.
Sony for Playstation.
Nintendo for Wii.
Etc.
Apple created iOS, just as MS, Sony and other companies. They have the ultimate control over it.
iOS is NOT a public platform nor does it belong to be people. People have no entitlement to anything from Apple in this case. You don't like it, just don't buy it.
Android is an open system, thus where the anti-trust starts to kick in quicker for Google than other companies because Google is demanding something that they have no ownership of. Forcing Android OEMs to use Google services in order to use some parts of Android that supposed to be available to everyone?
I didn’t mean for it to sound violently but maybe I shouldn’t reply on HN too early in the morning.
I wish I could delete my post after a few hours.
Google on the other hand clearly has the largest market share for phone OSes and uses that share to push other products.
