Reuters: ‎ The responses from Apple and Google to the regulator’s investigation in the supply of mobile browsers and browser engines and the distribution of cloud gaming services through app stores on mobile devices in the country were published on the government website on Wednesday. With respect to remedy options on providing feature access, Apple said it would “not be appropriate” to mandate that access to future WebKit or that iOS features in use by Safari be provided free of charge, adding that developing features is a time and resource-intensive process. “Apple cannot recoup a reasonable amount of those expenses… to do so would have a chilling impact on Apple’s incentives to innovate and would lead to free-riding and underinvestment on the part of third parties.” ‎ MacDailyNews Take: Apple should charge through the wazoo if forced to provide access to future WebKit or that iOS features.
