Apple chief Tim Cook faced tough questioning on Friday in the antitrust trial involving Fortnite-maker, Epic Games, which has claimed that the App Store exerts monopolistic behavior towards developers. The judge pressed Cook on why Apple's store didn't give users a choice of cheaper options for content, forcing them to use the company's in-app purchases method. Cook said users could use Android and that it sought a return on its intellectual property investment. The trial, which puts Apple's business model for iOS devices at stake, will hear closing arguments on Monday.
