The district court’s Order substantially risks disrupting the iOS ecosystem by sua sponte preventing Apple from exercising its right to charge what it wishes for the use of its platform.

The possibility of a new bipartisan consensus based on the Biden administration’s failed merger policies should concern Senate Republicans.
