In this episode of The Pulse, Alex and Elliot discuss Apple's recent banning of Fortnite from the iOS App Store and the resulting lawsuit by Fortnite's creator, Epic Games. As with Apple's banning of the Hey.com email app, accusations of abuse of monopoly power have again been brought against Apple, only this time Apple's adversary is a huge, well capitalised company. Alex and Elliot discuss how things could play out, and how this situation compares to a shopping mall where the owner leverages its position to extract above market rents. They also cover Alex's recent flight from the USA to Australia, what it was like to travel internationally during the pandemic and how Alex's experience has been in mandatory hotel quarantine.LINKSPicture of Fornite's in-game currency purchase screen: https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/21757364/epic_direct_pay_apple_app_store_2045x979_730033169.png
