This ongoing legal saga concerning Apple’s App Store, is once more at a stage where the courts are inviting interested parties to comment. These amicus briefs are intended to be a way for companies and individuals to present arguments supporting one side or the other.
Y Combinator, a venture capitalist, argues that it would back app developers if it were not for Apple’s 30% App Store fee. Consequently, Apple being forced to change its App Store rules was a “welcome relief” that ended what Y Combinator describes as “Apple’s anti-competitive block on entry and expansion.”
