I support that anti-Apple folks should get Android, Jolla, Purism,...

Apparently voting with the wallet means buying status and then complaining about what one has bought.

That makes no sense whatsoever. Why are you giving advice for users in a thread about developers rights?

90% of the youth market uses an iPhone and that's the same market Epic is in. Outside of youths, 50% of the US population uses an iPhone.

Can you provide some sources for the numbers?

Be a developer for another platform then. What makes the platform is both consumers and producers of apps. Vote with your wallet and your merchandise.

No sane app development business would do this when half of their potential customers are on an iPhone.

I'd rather vote in legislators that will maintain the existing laws of the land, which state that you can't use your Apple-sized market power to keep competitors from doing business.

80% of world's customers are on Android.

There are countries with 0% market share for iOS.

This lawsuit is taking place in the United States just like most of my business. It doesn’t matter what’s happening in the rest of the world.

It matters to the judge.

Care to cite your reference?

80% of the world is on Android, plenty of money to make there.

Also as a developer whose employer targets Apple devices, I am more than at home with Apple's decisions.

Don't like them? Target Android, Web,..

Check how open are games consoles for a change.

I support that anti-Microsoft folks in the 90s should use Linux, Macintosh or an abacus. Plenty of choices. Vote with your wallet.

The market share and dominance is not even remotely comparable.

Sure it is, there are plenty of countries were iOS devices, if any, are in the hands of a couple politicians and their families.
