击碎"苹果税"高墙:Epic胜诉改写苹果全球应用生态垄断格局
3 6 Ke· 2025-05-08 12:36
2025年4月30日,美国加州北区法院就Epic Games 与苹果公司围绕"苹果税"的法律纠纷做出了一项具有里程 碑意义的裁决:苹果 "故意违反"了2021年禁止该公司实施反竞争定价的禁令,为此,苹果必须停止从苹果商 店以外的应用销售中抽取27%的佣金,并不得限制开发人员使用链接、按钮或行动号召的设计或放置来引导 用户使用其他付款方式的能力,或对如此做的开发者进行报复。 也就是说,美国开发者可以在苹果系统上将用户引导到外部网站进行交易,而无需支付15-30%的"苹果税"。 这项裁决不仅有利于Epic Games,而且对世界各地的开发者来说都是一次难得的胜利——开发商现在拥有了 前所未有的自由。 作为回应,苹果公司虽然更新了其美国的应用审核指南,但很快就在5月5日向美国第九巡回上诉法院提交了 上诉通知。 自2020年以来,Epic Games与苹果公司就应用商店规则、垄断指控和开发者权利展开了激烈的争斗,如今已 演变成科技史上最大的法律纠纷之一。近五年的庭审中,苹果赢得了许多辩论并一直处于上风。但这一次裁 决是Epic Games首次获得的"重大胜利",其结果或将对全球数字市场运作产生更广泛的影响。 一、内部 ...
苹果一个计划中的“小升级”,谷歌市值一夜蒸发万亿 | 钛媒体焦点
Tai Mei Ti A P P· 2025-05-08 10:09
此外,苹果公司还在测试Safari 18浏览器的新功能,包括"智能搜索"和"网页橡皮擦"。 其中,"智能搜索"可以利用苹果的设备端人工智能技术(特别是 Ajax 语言学习模型)来识别网页中的 主题和关键词,并以此为基础进行内容总结。在选择关键词时,苹果的LLM 软件会识别句子中提供解 释或描述物体结构的部分(具体取决于文本内容)。文本中重复出现的词语和关键句子会被识别为文本 主题。 而"网页橡皮擦"则允许用户删除网页上的特定内容,如广告或图像。该功能预计将建立在Safari现有的 隐私保护功能之上,允许用户从他们选择的任何网页中删除不需要的内容。 苹果的分析师评价称,对于标志性的iPhone和拥有超过 20 亿活跃设备的苹果公司来说,这场即将到来 的转变意义重大。自2007年推出第一款苹果智能手机以来,用户一直通过谷歌搜索来浏览网页。现在, 苹果的用户将进入一个由多家公司主导的人工智能世界。 美国东部时间5月7日晚,中美两国最大的搜索应用公司百度和谷歌,突然上演了股价"大跳水"。 截至美股收盘,谷歌母公司Alphabet的股价暴跌了7.6%,市值蒸发超过1500亿美元(约人民币1.08万亿 元)。同时,百度当 ...
特朗普,还是没有放过好莱坞
Hu Xiu· 2025-05-08 06:08
电影工业的全球化导致美国电影行业中大量的工作机会、地方税收、旅游产业外流。 而作为"政治正确"的引领者,近几年奥斯卡的每次颁奖都像是在往保守主义者的伤口上撒盐。 美国总统唐纳德·特朗普日前宣布,将对所有非美国制作的电影征收100%的关税。 尽管这关税看上去像是在无差别征收,但实际上板子精准地打在了好莱坞的屁股上。 有网友总结,按照这个标准,被征收的对象包括但不限于: 好莱坞大片基本上被一网打尽。 对于特朗普来说,好莱坞属于在经济和意识形态两个方面给他添堵。 《碟中谍8》(英国); 《超人》(挪威、美国); 《侏罗纪世界4》(英国、泰国、美国); 《神奇四侠:初露锋芒》(英国、西班牙); 《阿凡达3》(新西兰); 《复仇者联盟5》(英国); 《奥德赛》(希腊、意大利、英国); 《蜘蛛侠4》(英国); 《沙丘:救世主》(匈牙利); 和所有全球化的产业一样,好莱坞也吃尽了比较优势的红利。 在美国本土拍电影,人工和税收成本都很高。 当年陈思诚在纽约拍摄《唐探2》,就感受到了美国的人工成本之高,光是一名充当背景的群众演员, 薪酬就达到将近2000元人民币一天。 所以后来陈思诚拍《唐探1900》,干脆在国内搭了一个"旧金 ...

苹果紧急申请暂停执行App Store新规 反垄断争议再升级
Huan Qiu Wang· 2025-05-08 04:54
【环球网科技综合报道】5月8日消息,据路透社报道,苹果公司近日向美国北加州地方法院提出紧急动议,请求暂停执行针对其App Store的新规则,这一 举动再次将苹果公司置于反垄断争议的风口浪尖。 此前,美国联邦法官Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers于5月1日作出裁定,认定苹果公司违反了2021年法院命令,未能在App Store中开放外部支付选项,构成反竞争 行为。法官指出,苹果不仅未能遵守命令,反而设计新的反竞争措施,意图维持其高利润的30%应用内购买抽佣模式。尽管苹果随后允许开发者引导用户通 过网页完成应用内购买交易,但仍强收27%的佣金。 5月2日,苹果更新了美国地区的App Store规则,不再限制开发者添加按钮、外部链接或其他行动号召,表面上看似允许开发者绕过30%的抽佣机制。然而, 这一变化并未平息争议,反而引发了更多质疑。裁决生效后,包括Kindle、Patreon和Spotify在内的多家知名应用迅速调整策略,在美国市场内启用外部支付 链接,为用户提供更多支付选择,直接挑战了苹果的支付垄断地位。 面对外界压力,苹果于5月6日正式提起上诉,试图撤销此前被强制要求允许开发者在应用内添加外部 ...

Xin Lang Zheng Quan· 2025-05-08 02:13
Core Viewpoint - The recent antitrust penalties against three pharmaceutical companies in China highlight the exploitation of market concentration to inflate drug prices, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, raising concerns about unethical practices in the industry [1][7]. Group 1: Antitrust Case Details - Tianjin Municipal Market Supervision Administration imposed a total fine of 326 million yuan on Tianjin Pharmaceutical, Jiangsu Lianhuan Pharmaceutical, and Xianju Pharmaceutical for colluding to manipulate the price of Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate [1][7]. - The price of Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate surged from approximately 7,900 yuan per kilogram in November 2021 to 45,000 yuan per kilogram by November 2023, indicating a significant price manipulation [1][5]. Group 2: Market Dynamics - The concentration of market competition is a key factor enabling these companies to control raw material and formulation prices, with the three companies holding four out of eight approved production licenses for Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate [3][4]. - The demand for Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate injections increased significantly during the pandemic, allowing companies to profit even as costs rose, leading to further price hikes [4][5]. Group 3: Regulatory Environment - The Chinese government has adopted a "zero tolerance" approach towards monopolistic behaviors in the pharmaceutical sector, as evidenced by the total fines of 1.772 billion yuan for antitrust cases in 2023 [7]. - The ongoing normalization of national medical insurance procurement and the enhancement of antitrust regulatory frameworks are expected to reduce the gray areas of vertical monopolies in the pharmaceutical industry [7].
又一药企因原料药垄断被罚1.95亿元,药品垄断、哄抬药价何时休?
Hu Xiu· 2025-05-07 01:44
Core Viewpoint - The article highlights the issue of pharmaceutical companies engaging in price-fixing and monopolistic practices, leading to significant price increases for essential medications, particularly the drug "新斯的明" (Neostigmine), which has seen price hikes of 11 to 21 times due to collusion among three companies [2][3][19]. Group 1: Price Manipulation and Regulatory Actions - Xianju Pharmaceutical was fined 195 million yuan for its involvement in a monopoly case related to dexamethasone phosphate raw materials [1]. - The price of Neostigmine injection surged from 2-3 yuan to over 30 yuan per unit, representing an increase of over 10 times [6][10]. - The sales revenue of Neostigmine in public medical institutions exceeded 3 billion yuan in 2020, with a year-on-year growth of 446.81% [10]. Group 2: Impact on Patients and Market Dynamics - Neostigmine is critical for treating myasthenia gravis and has no alternative medications, making its price increase particularly harmful to patients [4][14][16]. - The drug was included in the National Shortage Drug List, which pharmaceutical companies used as a pretext for price hikes [11][13]. - By the end of 2024, Neostigmine was included in the tenth batch of centralized procurement, with prices dropping to below 1 yuan per unit, exposing the previous price inflation as unjustified [17][18]. Group 3: Monopolistic Practices and Legal Framework - The collusion among the three companies involved not only price increases but also market division to maintain their market shares [19][20]. - The penalties for monopolistic behavior have historically been light, with the revised Anti-Monopoly Law in 2022 introducing personal liability for executives, marking a shift in enforcement [5][29][35]. - The fines imposed on companies often do not reflect the substantial illegal profits gained from monopolistic practices, leading to calls for stricter enforcement and higher penalties [27][30].
