MacStories — Understanding the DOJ’s Antitrust Complaint Against Apple

Apple vs. the U.S. Department of Justice: What You Need to Know

Margrethe Vestager on Apple's CTF: “we will definitely look at this in great detail, and if we find that there's reason to suspect that this has been put up in order to prevent the DMA from working for those who are in an Apple ecosystem, well, then we might very well open a non-compliance case.”

Kontra (@counternotions):
DOJ’s antitrust suit against Apple may read infuriatingly ignorant, inaccurate and ahistorical, but, above all, it’s an ideological frontal attack on the notion of integrated product/platform design…a death march to commodification and interchangeability. The rest is much noise.

FU: Epic says Apple will reinstate developer account, clearing path for Epic Games Store on iPhone - 9to5Mac

Steve Troughton-Smith:

Apple's reversal on the Epic situation is all well and good, but it doesn't prevent this kind of thing from happening again to a smaller developer who doesn't have a ton of PR or the ear of the EC. And it does highlight that Apple still has all the control to do whatever it wants, with little oversight, under its proposed DMA plan. They have forcibly inserted themselves in between third party app stores/payment providers and those services’ users, free to turn the screws as they wish.

Apple: Manage European Union digital services act compliance information

Jurgis Kirsakmens:

I think that the problem is on Apple's side - when it benefits them (money), app users are "theirs", when there's work involved, app users are "ours". DSA does not ask for phone number explicitly, it asks for way to ensure that customers of digital services can identify and reach "traders". Apple decided that easiest way for them would be collect phone numbers. Not yet sure/seen if Apple will just publish these or there will be some steps to go through to reveal them.

The US Department of Justice thinks Beeper — a hack that spoofed Mac serial numbers to make iMessage work on random hardware — was ‘fixing’ the messaging experience on iOS.

tylerhall:

In 2021, I got a cold email from a Director at Apple. They wanted to arrange a video call to learn more about developer opinions of the App Store. I was happy to oblige, but I think back now to their inability to understand all the frustrations I expressed during the call.
Even “No one likes working with Apple anymore. We do so because we have to” was met with an incredulous stare.

Alex Russell:

Governments around the world have found exactly this every time they've looked hard at Apple keeping competing browsers at bay, but crikey. The DOJ is not playing around.

Steve Troughton-Smith:

It was really naïve to think Epic ‘lost’ its fight against Apple. Everything Epic fought for is going to come to pass, and Apple has trashed its reputation in the process while daring regulators the world over to start peeling the layers of its business apart with a crowbar.
This could all have been avoided; it's entirely Apple's fault, and they deserve what they get
