So apple is saying they don’t have 45 million active monthly users in a market of 750 million people and a 34% market share?
I’m sure ‘most of our customers don’t use our product’ isn’t what they were going for…
TBH though I suspect the EU will see through it - the purpose of the gatekeeper legislation isn’t really about numbers, it’s about market power - no one company should be able to dominate with a proprietary system. Which is precisely what apple is trying to do with imessage.
Either implement the current standard, or release your standard. If it’s so good, then it should be available to anyone, and everyone would want to use it, right?
If I want my app to support iMessage, I should be able to do that. If not, the fuck right off. These things are never meant “for the people”.
“But if anyone can use it, then we don’t make money off it!” - then you won’t get a cent from me, period.
