Good!

Yet Apple somehow won in the US?

At least the EU is pushing Apple more towards allowing other stores.

The open web is dead, long live the open web. ⌐◨-◨

Apple won in the US because the US is a country of laws, not vibes. :)

I won't comment on laws since that's not my area...

!vibes though... ⌐◨-◨

😅

Agree.

I can't comment on lawsuits related to Google so I'll leave it at that.

fwiw, I expect Google to win higher courts, but possibly different case since Google doesn't make most of the hardware (so conspiring with handset manufacturers might be the illegal thing).

That said, Epic already has an alternative app store on Android. Consumer's just don't want it. They want lower fees in Play.
