, although the United States government said that it would not endure the damage by regulating and fining Apple, this did not prevent him from continuing such legislation. According to Verge, the representative of Florida Kammak submitted the Apple and Google Freedom Law for Battle Companies, such as Apple and Google.
Although these companies are not called directly, the bill is aimed at any company with applications stores in which more than 100,000,000 users. It says that the owners of the platforms should allow third -party applications stores, external payment methods and access to all the same technologies available for developers on the Apple platform.
This also has a strict language around Apple, which is not capable of maliciously obeying with difficult rules or high fees. In fact, this will open the door to use the iPhone as the largest and most profitable distribution system in the world with almost without costs for developers, while Apple receives an account for basic technology.
“, in its essence, this bill seeks to promote a competitive market for consumers and developers,” said the representative of Kammak in a press release, “providing mobile users of the United States can choose applications, methods of payment and platforms that are the best for them, and not the best for them, and not The fact that they do not force the developers, and the planned and payment and platforms that are the best for them and not spending on composite or payment and platforms that are the best for them, and in payment and payment platforms that are the best for them and not spending on composite and payment and platforms. “COL-SM-12″> Although the fact that the bill is asking for a significant review of the Apple business model, legislators know that Apple has already created a similar system in the EU.
In the EU for DMA, developers can choose the App Store model and distribute their applications through an alternative application store or website. Apple still collects a commission, but only after 1 million applications downloads, and there is an Escape hatch if the developer fears that they cannot afford to pay.
Apple DMA correspondence has repeatedly doubted and led to fines. With current regulation issues in the case of EPIC Games, Apple probably will also not bring much benefit in US courts.
, trying to maintain absolute control over its platform at each stage of the path, it seems that Apple may lose more than it is traded. How this reacts to the new US rules, if they are accepted, it can decide what the future of the company’s business -models with developers look like.
