        What a farce, Europeans are just jealous at this point that they cannot innovate, and all of the mobile + social media innovation is in America. What Europeans do not realize is that businesses need freedom from precisely such laws for industries to be able to grow to such size. If America had the heavy hand of regulations back in the 1950's -1970s, much of what we now know as the "Internet Revolution" would not have happened. Europeans will never have new business unless they shed the Regulatory state and will be stuck selling Agricultural goods and luxury products.

          So Apple can continue to charge 30% and continue monopoly sir to the free market ideology.

          This will remain until the OpenMarkets bill is passed.

          But Apple lobby supplied politicians with money so it won't get passed.

                  Is a shame at this day and age people and or corporations still want to be concerned with being dominant in society/"culture". In my opinion there are way more pressing or important matters to be concerned with than to bicker over something as silly as 1st world app problems.

                        Well we having a new trend.
                        Nowdays everbody is kicking to companies like Apple, Google or Facebook because they have much more money than everybody else.
                        Since the fact money are sin and the worst invention of a human kind its nothing new companies like apple are under strict eye of many governments for fraud or bad habbits.

                          Nothing new....apple has never been competitive

                            if this was from chinese phones this will be chaos. but they are love apple so nothing big problem.
