Judge Tosses Out Cryptocurrency Apple Antitrust Lawsuit Filed by Venmo Customers

Crypto is a scam and shouldn’t be allowed on the App Store.

I'm going to agree with you, but with a caveat.

Apple should be required to allow normal software installation. Then the cryptoidiots could get their scam apps from any source of their choosing, I could install an open source terminal app from Github, and you could install anything you want too.

It's not Apple's iPhone, it's MY iPhone, and I have the right to install software of my choosing on it, without Apple's interference.

Then Apple can set whatever app store policies they want on their store, they can charge developers 90% if they want, and it won't matter.
