Epic's App Store Ambition & Amazon's Retail Reign

We explore two major developments in the tech and retail worlds. Epic Games has made a bold move by launching its own iOS App Store in the European Union, marking a significant challenge to Apple's App Store dominance. This launch, fueled by the EU’s Digital Markets Act, brings games like Fortnite back to iOS after a four-year hiatus. We also dive into Amazon's continued reign as the world's most valuable retail brand, holding the top spot for the ninth consecutive year with a staggering brand value of $308.9 billion. As U.S. retailers dominate the global market, we examine the implications of these shifts for both consumers and competitors.
