Google will appeal the decision: https://www.theverge.com/2023/12/11/23996902/google-will-appeal-the-epic-v-google-verdict
Look, I despise Google as much as anyone these days, and I’m glad they’re taking a beating this time around, but at the same time, it’s also kind of bullshit. And it’s not even because you can sideload apps, or have alternate appstores on Android, but because we have yet to see the same standards being applied to Apple.
Shouldn’t this set a precedent for apple as well?
Thing is, Apple is only 30% of the market. Google is the other 70%
I think a lot of people here are missing the point that in a court legal != pro-consumer. The US has monopoly laws that Apple (annoyingly) follows but Google does not.
How the heck does Google lose this but apple win it? Not that funny. Weird news.
The only thing we’ve learned today is that Apple’s lawyers are far better than Google’s…
