They do, just not as frequently. Most of these people are going for low hanging fruit with the largest userbase.over 1 billion users on apple OS devices and the malware creators dont think thats a large enough pool to create malware for?

How does one know which apps are safe, then?Don't use those apps or don't give them corresponding permissions. Problem solved.
Up until recently nearly 100% has NOT been Apple. Tons of people don't buy Apple for the same reason. I'm more ok with this will a tablet or phone (I'm still Android) than a computer. I've actually found a ton of use for my iPad pro.Then don't buy Apple?
I'll feel much less safe when 3rd party apps suddenly have access to my pretty locked-down phone... (Wallets, sensitive information, cameras).

Closed ecosystem means there are checks and balances, no? Open ecosystem means anybody can do anything?
Has that been a problem for Macs?How does one know which apps are safe, then?

Every app declares/asks for the permission it needs. No guessing is required.How does one know which apps are safe, then?

This 100% already it is like that already really. The Apple store isn't 100% safe either through, and they block some things just because of competition not safety.Just use Apples own app store exclusively (like before) and you're done.
Having a choice doesn't mean you have to choose other?

Which tax payers are asking for this? They work for us. This investigation is going nowhere and a waste. This isn't he EU
Or Garmin watch (with 3 weeks battery life) with much better integration than what they can do now. That's good for consumer (but not for AAPL shareholders, which, I suspect, you are).
Yeah, imagine some company created a superior alternative to Siri and integrated it with iOS…I have no problems at all with Apple products working better with Apple products...
I just wish Siri did not suck. And it seems to be getting worse.
“Support for this study was provided by Apple.”The classic App Store commission rates of 30% and 15% were always in line with what the rest of the market generally charged. The claims that there was something "supracompetitive" about them has never been based in reality.
…because Apple has made it clear time and again that they’re going to charge prohibitive access fees/commissions that make such access by third-party providers commercially unusuable (see their 27% commission on their external link entitlement or whatever ******** it’s called in the US or NL).I betcha there will be no "Apple must allow all of this free of charge" like they did with EU DMA. They will ask Apple to allow access to these technologies, but will not force Apple to make it free for others. So Apple will just charge for access, and then Epic will send their wha-wha complaints to the DOJ and Microsoft and Spotify will join them with an amicus briefing
Do you luve in one of those two countries?If this ends up making it easier for Russia or Saudi Arabia to put spyware on my Apple devices, I will not be happy.
The US tech industry is mire than just Apple.I hope Apple wins this. Apple brought tech innovation. Taking that away with lawsuit like this would cripple the tech industry in the US.
They haven’t broken any antitrust laws— the DOJ just erroneously thinks they have. It’s a stretch— government overreach.Liking Apple's closed door policy does not grant it immunity from antitrust law.
If the DOJ were to successfully open the ecosystem and allow third party app stores and side loading, that’s when the malware for iOS will EXPLODE.They do, just not as frequently. Most of these people are going for low hanging fruit with the largest userbase.
How did a similar line of reasoning work out for Microsoft 25 years ago?If the DOJ were to successfully open the ecosystem and allow third party app stores and side loading, that’s when the malware for iOS will EXPLODE.
Actually, a court will decide that.They haven’t broken any antitrust laws— the DOJ just erroneously thinks they have. It’s a stretch— government overreach.

Now imagine you could install a better replacement for Siri from a third party developer…I just wish Siri did not suck. And it seems to be getting worse.
How bad did that make MacOS? Because you CAN load software not on the app store without too much trouble. It is just a check box.If the DOJ were to successfully open the ecosystem and allow third party app stores and side loading, that’s when the malware for iOS will EXPLODE.
Can you use something other than Cortona on Windows or Alexa on Amazon or Hey Google on Google?Now imagine you could install a better replacement for Siri from a third party developer…

Apple is down almost $8 ... seems it's happening now.Imminent, meaning it will happen next month?![]()

Except that mobile devices aren’t the ”big thing” anymore. AI is the next big thing and Apple is behind the competition. The DOJ, as usual, is behind the times and is fighting last decade’s battles.Because interoperability is better for everyone, and will enable competition.
So much is finally possible with technology these days, yet is still getting hamstrung by gatekeepers and monopolists
Even if one LOVES Apple - it's actually better for them to be in a situation where they need to compete on merits.
Over the long term this will be the better result, even for Apple and it's fans and shareholders.
Apple having to compete HARD is what created the Apple everyone loves.
While AI is going to be big it doesn't have as large an impact on people's lives the way mobile phones do. AI is likely to supplement and enhance rathe than replace the importance of mobile phones over the next few years (though in the long term some AI powered thing might fully replace phones I wouldn't bet on it being soon)Except that mobile devices aren’t the ”big thing” anymore.
