Chuck Joiner, Dave Ginsburg, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Marty Jencius, Eric Bolden, Jeff Gamet, and Guy Serle examine and critique a new app store model that will debut as a result of the EU’s requirements, and take a look at whether Oregon’s new Right To Repair law will have a significant impact on Apple…or anything, for that matter.
