    No, competing stores will be a full native app, just as the Digital Markets Act requires.

    It is yet to be seen what competitors will charge, however one thing is a universal constant: competition usually brings prices down. Apple makes enormous profits on that 30%. This leaves from for competitors to charge much less and still earn enormous profits.

    As for Apple charging a yearly fee to developers, the DMA explicitly prevents that.

        FRAND doesn’t apply here. Even if it did, FRAND would require Apple grant access to iOS. The opposite of what you’re claiming. I think the EU knows a little bit more about their laws than you do.
