Two different cases, 2 different juries (OK the Apple one was a bench trial but you get my point) and neither one is binding precedent over the other.


But can Epic appeal then against Apple?


I imagine Google will appeal, and the whole shebang will be decided by the Supreme Court, applying to everyone.


This is probably where it is going. And yeah, it may cause some type of regulation of OS-integrated app stores and payment systems.


Were I Google I'd be appealling on the grounds Apple got away with it.


Did Apple pay companies not to deploy their own app stores? Oh, right, they were restrictive about even an app that had the same functionality as an Apple-made app, let alone competing app stores. This might get interesting.


They tried to use the apple case to get this suit dismissed. The judge already declined to dismiss the Google case


Well, if Google is willing to stop licensing Android to third parties and only sell Pixels, I’m sure they could


Both sides started appeals in July, iirc.
