周五，一名联邦法官进行了盘问苹果(aapl . o:行情)首席执行官蒂姆•库克是否iPhone的制造商的应用程序商店《堡垒之夜》开发商Epic Games的利润是否合理苹果面对任何真正的竞争压力来改变它的方式。
库克在加州奥克兰市作证了两个多小时，他是苹果公司针对Epic指控进行辩护的最后证人iPhone制造商对应用商店的控制和佣金创造了一种垄断，苹果非法滥用这种垄断。
包括音乐服务公司Spotify Technology在内的应用程序制造商、欧洲监管机构和美国政界人士都质疑，这家曾经敦促世界“与众不同”的公司现在是否变得太大、太强大了。
Gonzalez表示，苹果从游戏开发商那里获得的利润“似乎不成比例”。
她说:“我理解苹果在某种程度上把顾客带到舞会上来的想法。”但是在第一次互动之后，开发者便能够留住用户。在我看来，苹果只是从中获利。”
库克不同意。“免费应用程序带来了很多好处。他说，只有真正从中获利的人才会支付30%的佣金。
Epic试图证明苹果的iPhone是一个锁定用户的利润丰厚的平台，并指出苹果的一份内部文件显示，应用商店的运营利润率为78%。库克表示，这份文件并没有反映运行应用商店的全部成本。
此次证词是库克就苹果应用商店发表的最广泛的公开言论，该应用商店支撑着苹果价值538亿美元的服务业务。
Gonzalez Rogers还引用了一项调查，该调查发现39%的软件开发人员对苹果的应用程序分发服务不满意。
在回应开发者的抱怨时，库克回答说“我们把这个地方弄得天翻地覆”，但后来他承认，他没有收到关于开发者对与苹果合作的感受的定期报告。
在为期三周的审判开始时，冈萨雷斯·罗杰斯还向Epic首席执行官蒂姆·斯威尼提出了一些棘手的问题https://www.reuters.com/technology/judge-presses-epic-ceo-during-second-day-apple-antitrust-trial-2021-05-04迫使苹果做出改变会对软件世界产生怎样的影响。斯威尼说他还没有想清楚这个问题。
他是《堡垒之夜》的开发者，这是一款在线游戏，让玩家在一场动画中相互对抗。大逃杀“战斗到最后一个幸存者”，已经发动了针对苹果的公关和法律运动。
Epic模仿了苹果标志性的“1984”广告，并在法庭上辩称，该公司只允许全球10亿部iphone上使用经过批准的应用程序，并强迫开发者使用苹果的应用内支付系统，该系统收取高达30%的销售佣金，这是反竞争行为。
苹果试图说服冈萨雷斯·罗杰斯，其针对开发者的规定旨在保护其客户信息的隐私和免受恶意软件的侵害。
库克说:“我们非常关注用户，为客户做正确的事情。”“安全和保障是隐私建立的基础。技术有能力从人们身上吸收各种数据，我们希望为人们提供工具来规避这种情况。”

A federal judge on Friday grilled Apple Inc<\/a> Chief Executive Tim Cook<\/a> over whether the iPhone maker<\/a>'s App Store<\/a> profits from developers such as \"Fortnite\" maker Epic Games are justified and whether Apple<\/a> faces any real competitive pressure to change its ways.
Cook testified for more than two hours in Oakland, California, as the closing witness in Apple's defense against Epic's charges that the iPhone<\/a> maker's App Store controls and commissions have created a monopoly that Apple illegally abuses.
App makers including music service Spotify Technology , European regulators and U.S. politicians who question whether the company that once urged the world to 'think different' has now become too big and too powerful.
<\/div><\/div>At the end of testimony, Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers questioned Cook, pressing him to concede that game developers generate most App Store revenue and help subsidize other apps on the store that pay no commission.
Gonzalez said the profits Apple reaps from game developers \"appear to be disproportionate.\"
\"I understand this notion that somehow Apple is bringing the customer to the dance,\" she said. \"But after that first time, after that first interaction, the developers are keeping customers with the game. Apple is just profiting from that, it seems me.\"
Cook disagreed. \"The free apps bring a lot to the table. Only the people who are really profiting in a major way are paying 30\" percent commissions, he said.
Epic has tried to show that Apple's iPhone is a lucrative platform that locks in users, pointing to an internal Apple document that Epic alleges showed the App Store had 78% operating margins. Cook said the document did not reflect the full costs of running the App Store.
The testimony constitutes Cook's most extensive public remarks on the App Store, which anchors Apple's $53.8 billion services business.
Gonzalez Rogers also cited a survey that found 39% of software developers were unhappy with Apple's app distribution services.

<\/div><\/div>\"It doesn't seem to me that you feel pressure or competition to actually change the manner in which you act with developers,\" Gonzalez Rogers said.
Cook replied that \"we turn the place upside down\" to respond to developer complaints, but later conceded that he does not receive regular reports on how developers feel about working with Apple.
At the start of the three-week trial, Gonzalez Rogers also pressed Epic Chief Executive Tim Sweeney with tough questions https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/technology\/judge-presses-epic-ceo-during-second-day-apple-antitrust-trial-2021-05-04 on how forcing Apple to change would ripple through the software world. Sweeney said he had not thought the issue through.
The maker of \"Fortnite,\" an online game which pits players against in each other in an animated \"Battle Royale<\/a>\" fight to the last survivor, has waged a public relations and legal campaign against Apple.
Epic parodied Apple's iconic \"1984\" commercial and argued in court that it acts anticompetitively by only allowing approved apps on the world's 1 billion iPhones and forcing developers to use Apple's in-app payment system which charges sales commissions of up to 30%.
Apple has sought to persuade Gonzalez Rogers that its rules for developers are aimed at keeping its customers' information private and safe from malware.
\"We have a maniacal focus on the user and doing the right thing by the customer,\" Cook said. \"Safety and security are the foundation that privacy is built on. Technology has the ability to vacuum up all kinds of data from people, and we like to provide people with tools to circumvent that.\"
