Earlier today, Proton filed court papers in the US District Court for the Northern District of California to join an existing class-action lawsuit against Apple. Proton is a plaintiff in the case, but we are representing and suing on behalf of a class of similarly situated developers. Challenging one of the most powerful corporations in the history of capitalism is not a decision we make lightly, but Proton has long championed online freedom, privacy, and security, and we believe this action is necessary to ensure the internet of the future lives up to its potential.

There is literally nothing that can be done in an app that can't be done quicker and easier as a PWA these days

Hard disagree. I am on Android so I'm not sure if that makes a difference.

They would then become a hardware vendor and that would absolutely ruin them

I hope that's a joke. Airpods could be a Fortune 500 company all on their own.

No, I was serious, although after looking into it, I am surprised that hardware makes up 72% of their income. Perhaps they could make up the 28% software revenue shortfall with innovative new hardware and still maintain that 3.06T market cap, eh?

I mean they could do away with Apple Store fees altogether and still be unfathomably profitable.
