You can't compare appstore with other shops, though. It's the only shop that can possible exist, so it faces no competition at any rate by design.


I thought EU law is already going to allow for alternative app stores on iOS?


the law allows, the implementation that apple took, doesn’t in reality. yes, techinically it is possible, but with the associated cost only some big players can do it. there’s no room for free apps when the store has to pay 50 cents per user after a small threshold.
