Is that the profit for the App Store specifically, in the UK specifically?

If not, you’re comparing apples to oranges.

Why the UK specifically? The App Store monopoly is driven by its world-wide presence, I think it should be global revenue, and a fine to match.

[philipallstar]

Because it's a UK fine. The "monopoly" is driven by Apple making very good products for a long period of time and the UK putting its money almost anywhere but into people who might invent the next iPhone-like thing and make people's lives better worldwide.

[scarab92]

Because the fine amount is specific to the harm done by one product line, in one market.

Whereas Apple’s profit figure reflects their total profit across all products and all markets combined.

It’s meaningless comparing these, because it’s not an equal basis of comparison.

Limiting it to App Store profit doesn’t make sense. The App Store is not an independent corporation (although it’d be great if some regulator forced it to be!) Apple makes the decisions about its behavior.
