Wasn't Apple just slapped down for exactly this in court, for the second time? They're really both going to fight this to the bitter end kicking and screaming like toddlers, aren't they.

I would suggest reading the ruling and not the headline.

The ruling specifically states that Apple can charge a fee , just not the fee they had previously chosen of standard rates minus 3%.

It may very well be that googles pricing structure fits in the realm of what the courts deem as fair.


I would suggest that $3 and 20% is so far outside the realm of reasonable as to be absurd.


By whose definition of reasonable though?

Without knowledge of costs of delivery, api development and support, anything dealing in terms of subjective reasonable values is just speculation.
