Whether it's news, games, apps or books, Apple's position is the same. The market determines the price, and Apple gets 30%. The Justice Department fails to acknowledge anywhere in its 36-page complaint against Apple and book publishers that this is the standard approach.

Doesn't that miss out that they do treat music, movies differently and that they didn't just offer 30% agency terms to each publisher and left it at that. Instead, they worked with ALL four of the publishers to ensure they'd all agree to it. If it was like apps/games, apple would have said to every publisher, it's 30% agency pricing, take it or leave it and left each to make up their own minds. They didn't.
