Did you read the part where I said "So yes, in at least one trial, some of Apple's actions were declared anti-competitive."?
I didn't say "any" practices. I said some.
So yes, some of Apple's practices were anti-competitive.
Apple has to win on every single count, otherwise it is a loss compared to the status quo, because that is 1 less thing they are allowed to do.
So yes, Apple is at the stage where already "some" of it's practices have been declared anti-competitive. And more lawsuits and laws are happening or being drafted.
In fact, the Open Apps Market app just went through the senate committee yesterday, in a rare bipartisan 20 to 2 decision, which would force sideloading of alternate App stores, I believe.
If that law passes, it is game over for Apple on this subject.
If that passes, there is basically nothing Apple can do to prevent everyone from completely bypassing the 30% fee.
