“Apple Does Not Have A Dominant Position In Any Market”, Says Exec

By  |  June 30, 2020

iPhone maker Apple, the target of EU antitrust investigations into key segments of its business, on Tuesday, June 29, rejected accusations of market dominance, claiming it competes with Google, Samsung, and other rivals.

Earlier this month, the European Commission opened investigations into Apple’s App Store and mobile payment system Apple Pay, concerned about its role as a gatekeeper to its lucrative platform, reported Reuters. 

“We compete with a wide variety of companies, Google, Samsung, Huawei, Vivo, LG, Lenovo and many more,” Daniel Matray, head of Apple’s App Store and Apple Media Services, told a Forum Europe online event. 

“In fact, Apple does not have a dominant position in any market, and we face strong competition in every category, in tablets, wearables, desktop and notebook computers, maps, music, payments, messaging, and more,” he said.
