Week-in-Review: Apple has a Supreme headache and Bitcoin bites back
For all of the swirling conversations of tech regulation that have continues the past several years, few of those waxing poetic on the topic likely assumed that Apple would be the first tech giant to capture the government's ire, but a Supreme Court ruling this week cleared the way for an anti-trust reckoning for Apple's walled garden App Store. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 against Apple on Monday, determining that a group of iPhone users will be allowed to bring an antitrust lawsuit against the tech giant. The group is alleging that Apple's 30 percent cut in the App Store passes on an unfair cost to users that have no other options to get the apps onto their phone.
