In the appeal, Apple claims that the conclusion that the stores “are a single main platform service” is erroneous, given that there are App Stores for iPhones, iPads, Macs, Apple Watches and Apple TVs — each designed to distribute apps to a operating system and a specific device.
Apple also disagrees with the conclusion that iMessage is a number-independent interpersonal communications service (NIICS, or number-independent interpersonal communications service) — classification that led regulators to discuss the possibility of including the service in the new law.
According to Maçã, its messaging service should not receive this classification because it does not charge any fees for use and does not monetize it through the sale of hardware devices or the processing of its users’ personal data.
