I guess its upto the judge to decide that now whether they are abusing their dominant position or not.

But then why lie about it, Cook said they have the same rules for everyone but then its revealed that they have secret deals with some others.
No, it's exactly the point and was the catalyst for my comment. Apple sells a product. If you don't like it, buy something else. The only time that doesn't hold up is when there are not any practical alternatives (a la Windows) and thus the product (perhaps) satisfies the conditions for a monopoly.
> Apple also has secret deals with other big companies where they can negotiate the commission Apple gets, apparently they did not give such treatment to Epic and other devs
And? They're completely free to do this.
