Ben Thompson gives a detailed breakdown of the sentiment I shared yesterday that Google lost the Epic case by pretending to be open.
Apple is up front that they are a closed platform. Consumers and developers know this when they choose iOS.
Google markets Android as an open platform to consumers and developers but then uses OEM contracts and constantly changing rules to effectively make Google Play and its in-app billing as the only effective choices.
So they lost.
@carnage4life so it's a case of misleading marketing
