None of this would be an issue if iPhone/iPad was open to non-apple app stores. Apple is being greedy here, can't install your own apps (non app stores) and can't have an alternative to app store so what are people left to do.
Why do iOS apps make more? Possibly because iOS is marketed as the premium experience, explicitly including “limitations” like not having to deal with other app stores or be told to install apk from the web.
Of course this ignores that Epic IS ALSO SUING GOOGLE. All caps because people are completely blind to this because it doesn’t fit their preferred narrative. Note that Apple is leading Google in terms of fees on their App Store. https://gizmodo.com/google-is-taking-less-of-a-cut-from-its-...
If Google is also being sued, is it not clear that additional app stores _is not_ what Epic is looking for?
please research what the actual lawsuit with Google is about because casting accusations on others. Another response was kind enough to give a link (that was the first one on Google).
