IncorrectApple and Google control all malls in the world
CorrectApple and Google make billions of money selling phones
IncorrectApple and Google are so popular just because of all the apps
Incorrectif there wasn‘t Insta, Twitter, FB, TikTok, WhatsApp - no one would care about smartphones. Only nerds and blackberry users would have a smartphone.
Correct - for their own ecosystems only. The customer is free and able to choose another ecosystem to live in.Apple and Google are the gatekeepers
Incorrect. No one enters a specific ecosystem if that someone breaks that ecosystem's rules. Literally all ecosystems work like this, be it physical like retail stores or one of the many many different digital app stores.No one enters the market if Apple doens‘t like the app (for whatever reason)
IncorrectNo one has a right to enter the markets (no one can sue Apple or Google)
Partially correct. Apple does compete but does not copy. The US legal system would love to have apple sued for stealing someone else's app idea so Apple doesn't do it.Apple competes with other apps - or copies them
Correct.Smartphone markets gained a huge interest, no way to ignore smartphones
Incorrect. Though taking money from yourself to just give it back to yourself serves no real purpose.Apple apps don‘t get charged a 30% fee, in opposite to competitors
Incorrect. Also your are wrong about the politics you said. Trump is acting in the national interest. Millions can't accept this fact though.Basically this is what defines a monopoly. Smartphones are extremly important. You can‘t sell a car without a smartphone app (in the future) - but to have a smartphone app you have to obey Apple/Google. It doesn‘t matter if your are Ford, GM, BMW - if Apple doesn‘t like you or doesn‘t like your app you won’t enter the Smartphone business. And Apple/Google can kick your app whenever they want to - or let’s say because Trump doesn‘t like the app.
Incorrect.So this has to change.
