		threeseed on April 24, 2021 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Google and Apple attacked on app store 'monopoly' You need to be careful as words matter. Apple and Google are not a cartel by any definition and they do not in anyway coordinate with each other. Either of these are criminal. Google reducing their margins to better compete with Apple is no different to how every market works.

Apple and Google’s action is no more than a cartel than Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile in the late 90s and early 2000s. They just don’t compete against each other.
