Apple says Epic is violating its App Store guidelines.

  • “Apple says Epic is violating its App Store guidelines by using its own payment system”

  • "The decision marks a significant escalation in the feud between Epic and one of the world’s most dominant mobile software marketplaces. It also comes at an especially fraught time for Apple as the iPhone maker navigates antitrust concerns over its operation of the App Store and the rules it imposes on certain developers. "

    I don’t think it’s the same, you’re comparing apples to oranges a bit here. Epic has exclusive programs while apple only allows specific programs on their hardware.
    I think having exclusive launcher on PC is fine’ish but having locked down program system is definitely anti-competitive and harmful.
