The remarks come after the competition regulator told the Australian Financial Review newspaper earlier in September that that it was reviewing whether Apple’s iPhone architecture breached competition laws. “The ... claim that Apple is pro-competition, I think, is a fair statement, as long as one accepts that competition is welcome as long as no-one can compete with Apple,” Comyn told a regular parliamentary committee.
Apple, which requires banks to process all contactless payments through its digital wallet and pay an undisclosed fee, declined to comment when contacted by Reuters.
