and then our first Apple exec, Matthew Fischer. Here's what happened yesterday https://www.theverge.com/... https://twitter.com/... Benjamin Mayo / @bzamayo : Interesting point in this deck is that Apple was giving Netflix “more featuring than any other partner” in App Store editorial. That is, before Netflix dropped IAP and then Apple scrubbed them entirely. https://9to5mac.com/... Tom Warren / @tomwarren : Microsoft's feud with Apple over xCloud on iOS got a rival kicked from the App Store. Shadow disappeared last year, after Microsoft was trying to work out why other cloud gaming apps were not being blocked. Details here: https://t.co/LySpAyGrvl https://t.co/SrzieTyJIW

    This is the second cross-examination where Apple has made a point of trying to establish that a third-party witness is on Epic's side.

    The judge steps in and says she's confused by why Apple would require a separate app for every game. “I can use Netflix with a native app and I can see lots of different movies or TV shows or whatever. Is it that you didn't want to use a subscription model?”

    Apple's insistence on comparing the iPhone to game consoles at trial is also really interesting — do they *want* the iPhone to be considered a console-like device, or a general purpose computer? What about the iPad? This is seriously like a Vergecast with millions at stake heh ht…

    As with Nvidia yesterday, Apple is now reading out glowing reviews of xCloud on Safari to rebut Microsoft's claims that it was an inferior alternateive to the App Store. I continue to find it funny.
