My take: Batman speaks the truth.

“Microsoft and Facebook have had to go through the journey of being, ‘you’re too evil for being too closed’ to, ‘you’re too evil for being too open‘’.”
If regulators say the Apple App Store is a monopoly because all of the apps sold there are only used on Apple’s iOS devices, and therefore Apple needs to open it up and not charge money for being the gatekeeper. The alternative is the so-called “open” Android Google apps store – which is plagued with malware, viruses and all kinds of third-party privacy issues.
Apple’s brand depends on being safe and protecting the consumer’s privacy.
App developers are not the consumer. They’re freelance independent contractors.
To the few companies who want an Apple app store presence but don’t want to pay for it, I argue there’s a big difference between Apple‘s apps and everybody else’s. Most of Apple‘s apps are free so their iOS devices work flawlessly out of the box.
If Apple’s app business was left up to how regulators think, iPhones would be pretty crappy devices. Full of malware, viruses and all kinds of malicious risky software.
Apple puts the consumer experience over ideology. That’s the difference between Apple and regulators.
2) The most important issues are our rights to security and privacy; and network neutrality.
3) Nice to see Evans bar charts – fun… More
1) What share of App Store revenue falls under the 30% charge? A: 15%
2) What is Apple’s share of the entire gaming business? or just on-line mobile gaming? A: Don’t know, but it is NOT dominant
3) What is Apple’s share of all streaming content, including blogs, video, music, books, etc? A: Small. Don’t care. Pointless
4) We could go on…. and on…
Or they should at least read his slides.
Hey cruise ship, how is it that 100% of the purchases on board, after one pays for “the room” go to the cruise line?
Hey sports team, how come I cannot bring my own food and beer into the park, and I have to use your vendors.
Hey mister house builder, can I use my own subcontractors on the house I am building, yours are too expensive?
Builder was a real jerk, and didn’t do a lot of stuff correctly. The kicker was when the building inspector wouldn’t sign off on the unfinished room over the garage because it wasn’t framed correctly (insufficient joist spacing.) Builder said to my friend, “take it or leave it.” My friend talked to his friend who was a lawyer, and they filed a $10k mechanic’s lien on the property for the flooring. Builder got VERY COOPERATIVE once he had no marketable title. 🙂 🙂
