Epic asked if that was true, and Rasanen said yes, that’s what the spreadsheet shows.
Presenting her with all the numbers, Epic attorney Hueston asks: “The studies we’ve seen show that people buy phones for reasons that are primarily other than the App Store, right?”
She waffles. He presents a new slide titled “Top reasons for smartphone purchase,” a list with maybe a dozen reasons including these top four:
I liked the smartphone brand
My prior smartphone stopped working or slowed down
The price of the smartphone was afffordable
It was a good deal
“Nowhere in that list is the app store identified as a reason for purchasing the smartphone, right?” asks Hueston.
She answers: “The app store, no.”
