Hahaha - what a BS argument!

And if I have a MacBook, for instance, do I have a choice in downloading the app from the iPad store or the iPhone store? No, there’s just one for my device!

And do I have a choice to use a non Apple App Store? No!

So while there might be multiple stores for Apple, there’s only one for my device from Apple

It’s like arguing that any monopoly isn’t actually a monopoly because the company has multiple physical locations. But the consumer has one choice, constrained by geography

I’m no lawyer but this is clearly a Hail Mary, perhaps suggested by some law firm to get a little more money out of Apple
