U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers paid tribute to Apple CEO Tim Cook, pointing out why iPhone manufacturers don’t let users choose to buy directly from developers at a higher price. Low virtual goods and content.

Apple won an antitrust trial filed by Epic Games Inc. on Friday after the judge slammed CEO Tim Cook’s remarks about whether Apple is operating its app market in a competitive manner. The chance seems uncertain.

U.S. District Court Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers pointed out to Cook why iPhone manufacturers would not let users choose to purchase lower-priced virtual goods and content directly from developers, but only allowed Purchasing through Apple’s own App Store is at the core of the problem. case.

When Cook first testified in the trial, he answered more than two hours of questions in the Federal Court of Oakland, California. This was a three-week trial of a high-risk battle between companies.

“Especially in the gaming environment, what’s the problem with allowing users to choose cheap content?” Gonzalez Rogers asked.

In the last few minutes of the witness stand, Cook faced severe doubts from the judge. He said that consumers “have a choice today” to buy an Android phone that is cheaper than the iPhone.

Gonzalez Rogers (Gonzalez Rogers) sent a further inquiry to Cook, asking him “what is Apple’s problem?” If users want to pay less for V-Bucks outside of the App Store, this is an epic blockbuster. The in-game currency used in the “Fortress Night” game.

“In essence, we will give up the total return on intellectual property,” Cook replied when talking about the company’s proprietary intellectual property.

After Apple withdrew Fortnite from the App Store, Epic filed a lawsuit in August because the developer created a workaround so there is no need to continue to pay 30% for customers’ in-app purchases. Epic claims that App Store policies hurt developers and hinder competition.

Cook, who has been the CEO since 2011, has been a gentle talker since 2011. He opposed Epic’s claim that the App Store uses unfair and selfish policies to make huge profits.

Cook testified that if the judge ordered Epic to require Apple to allow third-party application markets to open in addition to its own App Store, then this would be “terrible” for iPhone and iPad users.

Cook said: “This will be a huge convenience problem, but the problem of fraud will increase,” because customers will have to enter credit card information multiple times.
