Wild that the US, through antitrust enforcement, has been more effective at getting app store fees down than the EU, which relied on antitrust enforcement + a specific regulatory framework (the Digital Markets Act). A lesson in there somewhere!
Short & sweet contribution to a @capitolforum.bsky.social story on Microsoft's integration of AI services in its productivity suite.

Small but symbolic: in the Google judgment, Judge Mehta writes about the EU's "Digital Marketing Act" instead of the "Digital Markets Act" (quite a difference in meaning!). Might be representative of the US's substantive engagement with EU competition policy (with notable exceptions, of course).

Now that I've finished reading, it's difficult to argue Schiller really defended developer interests. He is, also according to the judge, one of the few at Apple who actually read the judgment but, while being on "team no commission", he did want to make it very difficult for developers to link out.
A real change of tone from Nick Clegg, who until recently headed policy at Meta. The poison is in the "they *claim* to read the same books" line. Makes me mildly curious about his upcoming book. Via @bloomberglp.bsky.social.

The order exposes an internal battle of financial interests (Maestri) vs developer interests (Schiller), with the CEO (Cook) picking the first side. I'm afraid Apple's erosion of developer goodwill will harm it sooner than later—also financially.

A final point on which US judges differ from the European Commission: they don't want to (or even can) play whack-a-mole on compliance. So the result of Apple minimally/formally complying (or not even that) is different from the EU: Apple must now allow linking out without *any* commission fee.
