Before Epic Games Inc. put the finishing touches on its historic antitrust case against Apple Inc. on Friday, the iPhone maker offered a preview of what should be a vigorous defense next week.
Epic has spent the better part of two weeks making its case that Apple and its ultra-successful App Store gouges developers with an onerous 30% commission fee and it suppresses competition from rival apps. “My opinion is Apple has monopoly power in the iOS app distribution market” based on “high and persistent profit margins,” Evans said.
Lori Wright, vice president of business development at Microsoft, revealed the software giant spent four months discussing with Apple how to launch xCloud as a native app, only to claim Apple demanded Microsoft, Nvidia, and others list cloud games as separate apps. Fischer detailed a largely positive relationship with Epic Games since 2010, but said he had not talked to a company representative since June 2020 and was “blindsided” by Sweeney’s email in August 2020 critical of Apple.
