    So Google, which already allows competing App stores is a monopoly, and needs to change it, but Apple which doesn't can stay as it is?

    Am I missing something?

      US courts act on a 'When court cases come in' basis. They don't apply consistently or across the board like a Police Department or FBI.

      But this suggests that if you sue Apple over this same issue, you have more legal standing to stand upon.

      The court system overwhelmingly prefers consistency.

      As far as I understand it that's a correct interpretation of this incredibly fucking asinine ruling, yes.
