It's baffling that Apple, which imposes much more control-freakish App Store restrictions than Google Play, gets a pass on its monopolistic behavior while Google (properly IMO) gets nailed.
The jury in the Google case showed common sense. The judge in the Apple case showed the opposite.
The mainstream American #press definitely gives #Apple a whole lot more credit than they give most companies' wild #claims - it's noticeable enough that The Register calls them the Tame Apple Press. The Wall Street Journal is particularly obnoxious in its obsequiousness.
Perhaps some of that "Apple #Exceptionalism" constantly promoted in the press leaks into other walks of life, including the justice system?
